1. A radio arrangement comprising:
- first receiving means having a first area for removably receiving a first memory module for storing information;
second receiving means having a second area for removably receiving a second memory module for storing information;
information processing means for automatically alternatively using information from either the first module in the first area or the second module in the second area based upon a predetermined prioritization of said first and second receiving means, and means for modifying the predetermined prioritization of said first and second receiving means.

Abstract
A radio telephone arrangement comprises two or more card readers (10,11,13) for accommodating a corresponding number of memory cards (SIM1, SIM2, SIM3) e.g. in the form of subscriber identity modules (SIMs). The various card readers may be designed to accept memory cards having different physical formats. The telephone is adapted to use the information from one of the memory cards (to the exclusion of the other memory cards) in accordance with a predetermined priority allocation. The prioritization may be re-set automatically if a card or card reader is removed or inserted. Preferably the user may also modify the priorities, e.g. by menu selection.
