METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SIM-BASED RADIO TECHNOLOGY MODULES AND NON-SIM-BASED RADIO TECHNOLOGY MODULES

摘要

A device (102) is provided, the device (102) having a processor (104) and a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card interface (150) coupled to the processor (104). The device (102) further comprises a radio technology interface (140) coupled to the processor (104), the radio technology interface (140) being compatible with a SIM-based radio technology module and a non-SIM-based radio technology module. If a SIM-based radio technology module is installed in the radio technology interface (140), a SIM access event forces the SIM-based radio technology module into an inoperative state.
