A method for facilitating dynamic service-based system selection and determination may be implemented by a communications device. The method may include presenting system selection options to a user based on information that is received about Network Access Providers (NAPs) and Network Service Providers (NSPs). The method may also include receiving user input about the system selection options. The user may be permitted to provide input about specific services offered by specific NSPs. The method may also include determining user preferences regarding system selection based on the user input. The method may also include creating a preferred roaming list (PRL) based on the user preferences. The method may further include using the PRL to scan for available networks and channels and to find serving systems.
