VIRTUAL SIM WITH MULTIPLE MOBILE NETWORK OPERATOR PROFILES FOR OPERATING OVER MULTIPLE WIRELESS IP NETWORKS

摘要

A communication device with a virtual subscriber identify module (SIM) for operating over multiple wireless telephone and internet protocol (IP) networks includes a processor and a virtual subscriber identify module (SIM), which mimics the operation of a physical SIM card. The virtual SIM includes a plurality of mobile network operator (MNO) profiles each MNO profile including a unique telephone network identifier and a unique IP network identifier. The processor is configured to switch mobile network operators for the wireless telephone and internet protocol (IP) networks by changing the MNO profile from a first one of the plurality of MNO profiles to a second one of the plurality of MNO profiles simultaneously enabling communicating over a second one of the plurality of mobile telephone networks and a second one of the plurality of IP networks.
