<p>A method and apparatus for modular authentication of a wireless communication device ( 120 ) including a portable communication device ( 210 ) and a wireless communication module ( 220 ) coupleable thereto is disclosed. When the wireless communication module ( 220 ) receives information ( 706 ) from the portable communication device ( 210 ), it determines whether the information received is authentic information ( 710 ) and operates together with the portable communication device ( 210 ) as a wireless communication device ( 120 ) in a communication system ( 100 ) in response to the information received being authentic information ( 720 ). In addition, a method and apparatus is disclosed for checking subsidy lock in a wireless communication device ( 120 ) capable of operating in a communication system ( 100 ), the wireless communication device comprising a first module ( 210 ), a second module ( 220 ) and a subscriber identity module ( 230 ) coupled to the first and second modules ( 210, 220 ). The first and second modules ( 210, 220 ) independently determine whether subsidy lock information stored in the subscriber identity module ( 230 ) corresponds to correct subsidy lock information ( 614, 618 ), and set a state of the wireless communication device ( 120 ) as operable in the communication system ( 100 ) in response to determining that the subsidy lock information stored in the subscriber identity module ( 230 ) corresponds to the correct subsidy lock information ( 614, 618 ).</p> |
