WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SELECTING BETWEEN MULTIPLE SETS OF STORED SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a wireless communication device, that includes wireless communication circuitry that enables the wireless communication device to communicate through at least a first wireless communication service and a second wireless communication service and that includes a subscriber identity information memory that stores at least a first subscriber identity information and a different second subscriber identity information, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a user input that selects one of at least a first send user selectable input, which indicates that the user desires to communicate through the first wireless communication service, and a second send user selectable input, which indicates that the user desires to communicate through the second wireless communication service;
registering with the selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service by employing a subscriber identity information corresponding to the selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service; and
initiating a communication through the selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service.

Abstract
A wireless communication device includes wireless communication circuitry that enables the wireless communication unit to communicate through at least a first wireless communication service and a second wireless communication service, and includes a subscriber identity information memory that stores at least a first subscriber identity information and a different second subscriber identity information. A user input is received and is used to select one of at least a first send user selectable input and a second send user selectable input. The wireless communication circuitry registers with the selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service. The wireless communication circuitry registers by employing a subscriber identity information corresponding to the selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service.

4. A wireless communication device, comprising:
-
a transmitter or receiver unit including wireless communication circuitry that enables the wireless communication unit to employ at least a first wireless communication service and a second wireless communication service; a subscriber identity information memory that stores at least a first subscriber identity information associated with the first wireless communication service and a different second subscriber identity information associated with the second wireless communication service; a first send user selectable element that causes the wireless communication circuitry to make use of the first subscriber identity information when initiating a communication, thereby causing the transmitter or receiver unit to employ the first wireless communication service when initiating a call; and a second send user selectable element that causes the wireless communication circuitry to make use of the second subscriber identity information when initiating a communication, thereby causing the transmitter or receiver unit to employ the second wireless communication service when initiating a call. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
