A method for enabling connection of a mobile communication terminal (110) to a radio communication network, comprising: receiving information about available radio access networks available in a geographic area (210); determining a current location of the mobile communication terminal (705) within said geographic area; based on the received information and the determined mobile communication terminal current location, determining available radio access networks covering the current mobile communication terminal location (727), and attempting establishing a connection to the radio communication network through a selected one of said available radio access networks. In case the current location of the mobile communication terminal within said geographic area cannot be determined (509): attempting establishing a direct connection with a neighboring mobile communication terminal over a short-range wireless communication channel (817, 819); obtaining from the neighboring mobile communication terminal information (821) about available radio access networks; and attempting establishing a connection to the radio communication network (825) through a selected one of the available radio access networks specified in the information obtained from the neighbor mobile communication terminal.
