First Claim
1. A communication apparatus for using a first and second subscriber identifications at the same time for accessing a first and second telecommunication networks correspondingly, comprising:
- a central controlling device, with a user interface, for receiving a command;
a first communication circuit, for accessing the first telecommunication network according to the first subscriber identification;
a second communication circuit, for accessing the second telecommunication network according to the second subscriber identification, wherein the first telecommunication network and the second telecommunication network correspond to a same telecommunication standard; and
a controller, coupled to the second communication circuit, for controlling the second communication circuit, wherein the central controlling device is coupled to the first communication circuit and the controller, and the first communication circuit and the controller are controlled by signals from the central controlling device.
