Patent Images
1. A method of identifying a communication device without a subscriber identity module (SIM) with a SIM located in a separate terminal device, comprising:
- the communication device communicating with the SIM through an analog interface in the terminal device;
the terminal device providing a device identifier to the subscriber identity module;
the subscriber identity module forming a message comprising the device identifier; and
the device communicating the message to a network;
wherein the SIM-generated message is generated in response to activation of the SIM in the terminal device, the SIM requesting device information from the terminal device and the device providing the device information to the SIM.

Abstract
A subscriber identity module includes at least one processor and logic that, when applied to the processor(s), results in a terminal device providing a device identifier to the subscriber identity module. The subscriber identity module forms a message including the device identifier and causes the terminal device to communicate the message to a network.
