1. A method of configuring a mobile device in a mobile communications network, the method comprising:
- determining whether a first identity module coupled to a mobile device is different from a second identity module previously coupled to the mobile device;
searching entries in a data structure for first configuration data associated with the first identity module; and
configuring the mobile device to use the first configuration data, when said first configuration data is present in an entry of the data structure, wherein the data structure has a plurality of entries that comprise configuration data for respective plurality of identity modules that can be coupled to the mobile device.

11. A method of configuring a mobile device coupled to a first identity module, the method comprising:
-
detecting a second identity module coupled to the mobile device after the first identity module;
searching a first entry in a data structure for network access information associated with the second identity module; and
configuring the mobile device according to the network access information in the first entry to allow the mobile device to operate in a mobile communications network using the second identity module without need for externally programming the mobile device with the network access information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A mobile device in a mobile communications network, the mobile device comprising:
-
means for determining whether a first identity module coupled to the mobile device is different from a second identity module previously coupled to the mobile device;
means for searching entries in a data structure for first configuration data associated with the first identity module; and
means for configuring the mobile device to use the first configuration data, when said first configuration data is present in an entry of the data structure, wherein the data structure has a plurality of entries that comprise configuration data for a corresponding plurality of identity modules implemented for coupling with the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
