Methods for processing apparatus originated communication request and communication apparatuses utilizing the same
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus having a first subscriber identity card camping on a first cell belonging to a first wireless network via a radio transceiver module, and a second subscriber identity card camping on a second cell belonging to a second wireless network via the same radio transceiver module as that in use for the first subscriber identity card or via a different radio transceiver module, the communication apparatus comprising:
- a memory device storing information indicating at least one discount period of the first wireless network and at least one discount period of the second wireless network; and
a processor coupled to the first subscriber identity card, the second subscriber identity card and the memory device, receiving an apparatus originated communication request with a destination address, determining whether a current time falls within the discount period of the first wireless network or the discount period of the second wireless network, and establishing a wireless communication with a peer device of the received destination address through one of the first cell and the second cell in response to the fallen discount period.

Abstract
A communication apparatus is provided. A first subscriber identity card camps on a first cell belonging to a first wireless network via at least one radio transceiver module. A second subscriber identity card camps on a second cell belonging to a second wireless network via the radio transceiver module. A memory device stores information indicating at least one discount period of the first wireless network and at least one discount period of the second wireless network. A processor receives an apparatus originated communication request with a destination address, determines whether a current time falls within the discount period of the first wireless network or the discount period of the second wireless network, and establishes a wireless communication with a peer device of the received destination address through one of the first cell or the second cell in response to the fallen discount period.
