Radio having memory means for storing radio user validation code
First Claim
1. A radio capable of operating with a set of incoming and outgoing operating functions within a system network having a system network operator, said radio comprising:
- removable memory means for storing radio function selecting information and a radio user validation code, said removable memory means having a first set of memory locations that are predefined by the system network operator and a second set of memory locations that are user definable;
memory receiving means for temporarily receiving said removable memory means;
radio function control means coupled to said memory receiving means for enabling said radio for communication with a radio communications system in response to said removable memory means and radio user validation code including at least enabling said radio for receipt of incoming calls; and
said radio function control means are arranged to activate particular operating functions of the radio in response to the radio function selecting information stored in said removable memory means.

Abstract
A radio (e.g. a cellular radio telephone) is provided which is capable of operating with a set of incoming and outgoing call functions. Removable memory means 132 are provided (e.g. a smart card) for storing radio function selecting information 133 and a radio user validation code. The radio communicates with a radio communications system in response to the code for enabling the radio to receive incoming calls at least. Radio function control means activate a subset of the call functions within the set of call functions in response to the radio function selecting information stored in the removable memory means.

21. A radio capable of operating within a set of incoming and outgoing call functions, said radio comprising:
-
removable memory means for storing radio functions selecting information that includes a first set of memory locations that are defined by a network system operator and a second set of memory locations that are user definable and a radio user validation code; memory receiving means for temporarily receiving said removable memory means; radio function control means coupled to said memory receiving means for enabling said radio for communication with a radio communications system in response to said removable memory means and radio user validation code including at least enabling said radio for receipt of incoming calls; a memory having a plurality of storage locations for storing information including at least telephone numbers; and said radio function control means are arranged to activate a subset of said call functions within said set of call functions in response to the radio function selecting information stored in said removable memory means and in that said radio function control means disallows the radio user write access to a predetermined set of the telephone numbers stored in said memory.
