Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a terminal configuration method and an apparatus. When determining that a SIM card in a terminal is powered on, a wireless communications module reads SIM card information such as some or all of an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), a service provider name (SPN), or a global identifier ID (GID) in the SIM card from the SIM card. After that, the SIM card information obtained by the wireless communications module is sent to an application processor. The application processor obtains an operator parameter based on the SIM card information reported by the wireless communications module, and configures the terminal. Therefore, at a moment at which the SIM card is powered on, the wireless communications module obtains the SIM card information from the SIM card, so that a timing for the UE to obtain the IMSI is advanced.

Abstract: A network search display method for a terminal device and the terminal device, where the method includes obtaining, by the terminal device, a network search instruction instructing the terminal device to start searching for a network, searching, by the terminal device, a network frequency band in a first network standard for an available network according to the network search instruction, and displaying, by the terminal device to the user, the available network found in the network frequency band in the first network standard. Hence, the method and the terminal device improve user experience.

Abstract: A redirection method includes: detecting, by user equipment, that signal quality of a currently accessed cell is less than a specified threshold; determining, whether the user equipment satisfies a specified condition; if it is determined that the user equipment satisfies the specified condition, sending a measurement report to a network side, so that the network side sends a redirection command to the user equipment according to the measurement report; or if it is determined that the user equipment does not satisfy the specified condition, skipping sending of a measurement report to a network side.
