1. A method, comprising:
- using subscriber identification information (SII) stored in a master device to connect a communication service over a public wireless network (PWN) in the master device;
establishing a communication link between the master device and a slave device;
generating network access information (NAI) associated with the communication service in the master device; and
sending the NAI from the master device to the slave device via the communication link.

Abstract
A method of using subscriber identification information stored in mobile user equipment (UE) to connect to a communication service over a public wireless network in the UE, establishing a communication link between the UE and a device, generating network access information (NAI) associated with the communication service in the UE, and sending the NAI from the UE to the device via the communication link. The method further comprises connecting the communication service in the device using the NAI and terminating the connection of the communication service in the UE.

10. A method enabling connection of a communication service over a public wireless network (PWN) by a slave device internally lacking access authorization credentials required to connect the communication service, the method comprising:
-
connecting the communication service in a master device storing the access authorization credentials; generating network status information (NSI) in the master device associated with the connecting of the communication service; deriving network access information (NAI) in the master device from the access authorization credentials and the NSI; establishing a communication link between the master device and slave device;
sending the NAI from the master device to the slave device via the communication link;connecting the communication service in the slave device using the NAI; and terminating the communication service in the master device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method enabling connection of at least one communication service over a public wireless network (PWN) by a slave device internally lacking access authorization credentials required to connect to the at least one communication service, the method comprising:
-
connecting a first communication service in a first master device storing first access authorization credentials; generating first network status information (1NSI) in the first master device associated with the connecting of the first communication service; deriving first network accessing information (1NAI) in a first master device from the first access authorization credentials and the 1NSI; establishing a first communication link between the first master device and slave device; connecting a second communication service in a second master device storing second access authorization credentials; generating second network status information (2NSI) in the second master device associated with the connecting of the second communication service; deriving second network accessing information (2NAI) in the second master device from the second access authorization credentials and the 2NSI; establishing a second communication link between the second master device and the slave device; sending the 1NAI from the first master device to the slave device via the first communication link and storing the 1NAI in the slave device; sending the 2NAI from the second master device to the slave device via the second communication link and storing the 2NAI in the slave device; connecting the first communication service in the slave device using the 1NAI; and terminating the first communication service in the first master device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
