A method implemented by a processor included in a mobile terminal which is configured to communicate with a communication network, including receiving from a network a first location identifier value in broadcast system information, detecting at least one mismatch between the first location identifier value and a second location identifier value, the second location identifier value included in a location update accept message received from the network, incrementing a value of a counter based on the detected at least one mismatch, determining that the value of the counter reaches a threshold, the threshold being a maximum number of the detected at least one mismatch between the first location identifier value and the second location identifier value, and updating the first location identifier value in a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) may be provided.
