Abstract
The invention concerns a method of operating a communication device with a transceiver 12, where at least two SIM cards 15.1, 15.2 are provided and one of these SIM cards 15.1 is logged-in. As soon as one of the SIM cards 15.1 is logged-in, this manner of operating provides that the other SIM card 15.2 can only be logged-in when the other SIM card 15.1 is no longer active. For example if the SIM card 15.1 is the one used to establish a normal telephone connection, and the SIM card 15.2 is the one which is used to update a navigation system for example, no street index adaptation or traffic jam messages can be transmitted if the SIM card 15.1 is active, i.e. is logged into the network. To avoid the corresponding disadvantages, it is proposed that the logged-in SIM card 15.1 uses information from the remaining not logged-in SIM card(s) 15.2. This ensures that in order to use functions which are connected to the not logged-in SIM card(s) 15.2, the call number of the logged-in SIM card 15.1 is transmitted to the provider of this (these) SIM card(s) 15.2, so that he can use the call number of the logged-in SIM card 15.1 to ensure that his services are able to function.
