Abstract

The invention relates to a SIM card for operation with a terminal of a communication network, characterised in being embodied as a telematic SIM card such that only connections to fixed target and/or source addresses may be generated using the terminal.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A SIM card for operation with a terminal device of a mobile telecommunication network, comprising:

the terminal device configured to only establish connections to fixed destination or source addresses, or both;

the destination and source addresses permissible in connection with the SIM card are stored in a memory of the SIM card or in a database of the mobile communication network.

12. The SIM card according to claim 11, wherein said SIM card is designed as a Telematic SIM card.

13. The SIM card according to claim 11, wherein the destination and source addresses are phone numbers, URLs (Uniform Resource Locator) or APN'"'"'s (Access Point Name).

14. The SIM card according to claim 12, wherein the destination and source addresses are phone numbers, URLs (Uniform Resource Locator) or APN'"'"'s (Access Point Name).

15. The SIM card according to claim 11, wherein the SIM card only supports defined telecommunication services.

16. The SIM card according to claim 12, wherein the SIM card only supports defined telecommunication services.

17. The SIM card according to claim 13, wherein the SIM card only supports defined telecommunication services.

18. The SIM card according to claim 14, wherein the SIM card only supports defined telecommunication services.

19. The SIM card according to claim 11, wherein the mobile phone subscriber relationship associated with the SIM card can only be operated within a defined virtual private network (VPN).

20. The SIM card according to claim 12, wherein the mobile phone subscriber relationship associated with the SIM card can only be operated within a defined virtual private network (VPN).

21. The SIM card according to claim 13, wherein the mobile phone subscriber relationship associated with the SIM card can only be operated within a defined virtual private network (VPN).

22. The SIM card according to claim 14, wherein the mobile phone subscriber relationship associated with the SIM card can only be operated within a defined virtual private network (VPN).

23. The SIM card according to claim 15, wherein the mobile phone subscriber relationship associated with the SIM card can only be operated within a defined virtual private network (VPN).

24. The SIM card according to claim 11, wherein the SIM card encompasses more than one different subscriber relationship, wherein the use of the SIM card is assigned according to the originator principle to the respective subscriber relationship.

25. The SIM card according to claim 12, wherein the SIM card encompasses more than one different subscriber relationship, wherein the use of the SIM card is assigned according to the originator principle to the respective subscriber relationship.

26. The SIM card according to claim 13, wherein the SIM card encompasses more than one different subscriber relationship, wherein the use of the SIM card is assigned according to the originator principle to the respective subscriber relationship.

27. The SIM card according to claim 14, wherein the SIM card encompasses more than one different subscriber relationship, wherein the use of the SIM card is assigned according to the originator principle to the respective subscriber relationship.

28. The SIM card according to claim 15, wherein the SIM card encompasses more than one different subscriber relationship, wherein the use of the SIM card is assigned according to the originator principle to the respective subscriber relationship.

29. The SIM card according to claim 16, wherein the SIM card encompasses more than one different subscriber relationship, wherein the use of the SIM card is assigned according to the originator principle to the respective subscriber relationship.

30. The SIM card according to claim 11, wherein the SIM card supports other services that are typically not understood to be Telematic services.

31. The SIM card according to claim 12, wherein the SIM card supports other services that are typically not understood to be Telematic services.

32. The SIM card according to claim 13, wherein the SIM card supports other services that are typically not understood to be Telematic services.

33. The SIM card according to claim 14, wherein the SIM card supports other services that are typically not understood to be Telematic services.

34. The SIM card according to claims 15, wherein the SIM card supports other services that are typically not understood to be Telematic services.

35. A process of limited use of a mobile telecommunications network by a terminal device, the process comprising:

using a SIM card in the terminal device;

said card only allowing connections by means of said card only to fixed destination or source addresses, or both;

wherein

the destination and source addresses permissible in connection with the SIM card are stored in a memory of the SIM card or in a database of the mobile communication network.
