1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a communications control module to exchange signals with one of a plurality of wireless network in accordance with one or more operational parameters, the plurality of wireless networks provided by a plurality of network carriers;
a storage medium to store a plurality of configuration files corresponding to the plurality of network carriers, the storage medium to include a network carrier history field to store a value indicating whether a newly designated wireless network carrier has been designated since operational power was last supplied to the apparatus, wherein a newly designated wireless network carrier is designated by storing a network carrier identification value within the storage medium; and
a configuration module to extract the one or more operational parameters from the configuration file associated with the newly designated wireless network.

Abstract
Techniques for configuring wireless communications devices are disclosed. For instance, an apparatus may include a storage medium to store one or more configuration files, and a configuration module. Each of the one or more configuration files may correspond to a network carrier. The configuration module selects one of the configuration files and to extract one or more operational parameters from it. This selected configuration file and the one or more operational parameters correspond to a designated network carrier.
