1. A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
at least one communications module electronically connected to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one communications module is operative to connect to a wireless communications network;
at least one subscriber identification module card tray;
a registration module for enabling registration of at least one subscriber identification module to the system and to enable at least one subscriber registration; and
computer executable instructions readable and executable by the at least one processor that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform the following;
determine whether incoming or outgoing communications to or from a mobile communication device implicate a financial transaction requiring mobile currency;
selecting and enabling the at least one subscriber identification module for performing financial transactions involving mobile currency; and
enabling operation of an application program comprising of computer executable instructions readable and executable by the at least one processor that when executed by the at least one processor causes the application program to perform the following;
provide a graphical user interface for accepting and receiving user commands for selective control of management of the mobile currency on the at least one subscriber identification module; and
preventing any financial transactions involving mobile currency to a second mobile communications device if a second subscriber is not registered and/or at least one second subscriber identification module enabled for performing financial transactions involving mobile currency is not present in at least one second subscriber identification module card tray in a second mobile communications device.
