Abstract
A communication apparatus is provided. A first subscriber identity card camps on a first cell belonging to a first wireless network via at least one radio transceiver module. A second subscriber identity card camps on a second cell belonging to a second wireless network via the radio transceiver module. A memory device stores information indicating at least one discount period of the first wireless network and at least one discount period of the second wireless network. A processor receives an apparatus originated communication request with a destination address, determines whether a current time falls within the discount period of the first wireless network or the discount period of the second wireless network, and establishes a wireless communication with a peer device of the received destination address through one of the first cell or the second cell in response to the fallen discount period.

10. A communication apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one radio transceiver module; a first subscriber identity card camping on a first cell belonging to a first wireless network via the radio transceiver module; a second subscriber identity card camping on a second cell belonging to a second wireless network via the radio transceiver module; a memory device storing information indicating a credit amount for a deductible communication fee of the first subscriber identity card and a credit amount for a deductible communication fee of the second subscriber identity card; and a processor coupled to the first subscriber identity card, the second subscriber identity card, the memory device and the radio transceiver module, receiving an apparatus originated communication request with a destination address, comparing the credit amount of the first subscriber identity card and the credit amount of the second subscriber identity card to determine one subscriber identity card with the greatest credit amount, and establishing a wireless communication with a peer device of the received destination address through one of the first cell and the second cell in response to the determined subscriber identity card. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A communication apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one radio transceiver module; a first subscriber identity card camping on a first cell belonging to a first wireless network via the radio transceiver module; a second subscriber identity card camping on a second cell belonging to a second wireless network via the radio transceiver module; a memory device storing a plurality of recent apparatus terminated communication request records for recording recently received apparatus terminated communication requests over a predetermined period, wherein each record comprises an origination address of a peer device and information indicating either the first subscriber identity card or the second subscriber identity card that the peer device intended to communicate with for each apparatus terminated communication request; and a processor coupled to the first subscriber identity card, the second subscriber identity card, the memory device and the radio transceiver module, receiving an apparatus originated communication request with a destination address, determining whether the destination address is stored in one of the recent apparatus terminated communication request records, and when the destination address is stored in one of the recent apparatus terminated communication request records, determining whether the first subscriber identity card or the second subscriber identity card is the one that the destination address previously intended to communicate with, and establishing a wireless communication with the destination address through one of the first cell and the second cell in response to the determined subscriber identity card. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
