The embodiments of the invention disclose a network access method. The network access method comprises the following steps: a mobile communication terminal receiving an obtaining instruction of the network identifier of a visited public land mobile network (PLMN); according to the obtaining instruction, obtaining the network identifier of the visited PLMN; determining whether the network identifier of the visited PLMN matches the network identifier of a home PLMN; when a determination result is yes, the mobile communication terminal adding the network identifier of the matched visited PLMN to an equivalent public land mobile network (EPLMN) list; and according to the EPLMN list, performing network accessing. By using the method provided by the invention, a user can trigger an adding button for trigger selection of the PLMN of a visitor location so as to add the PLMN of the visitor location to the EPLMN list in advance. When the network searching is carried out by means of a registered public land mobile network (RPLMN), since the searched RPLMN is equivalent to the VPLMN of the visitor location, the mobile communication terminal can reside in a cell and try to initiate a network searching registration process, and the search time length of the mobile communication terminal in a network searching process can be reduced.
