WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANAGING THE CALL ROUTING FOR MULTIPLE SERVICES EACH RESPECTIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH A CORRESPONDING ONE OF 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 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, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving an indication of which of a selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service the wireless communication device is to employ;
if the selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service is different from a currently employed wireless communication service, then transmitting a message to the currently employed wireless communication service indicating that the currently employed wireless communication service is to forward all calls to the subscriber identity information associated with the selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service.

Abstract
A wireless communication device and method is provided for managing the call routing for multiple services each respectively associated with a corresponding one of multiple sets of stored subscriber identity information. The 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 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. An indication is received regarding which of a selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service the wireless communication device is to employ. If the selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service is different from a currently employed wireless communication service, then a message is transmitted to the currently employed wireless communication service indicating that the currently employed wireless communication service is to forward all calls to the subscriber identity information associated with the selected one of the first wireless communication service and the second wireless communication service.
