Abstract: A solution is provided wherein the mobile device selects a multislot class based on the profile of the traffic to be utilized by the mobile device. This may be performed manually by a user, or may be performed automatically where an application or driver software automatically and dynamically determines the best multislot class for the applications being used. This can be accomplished, for example, by looking at the classification of the transport control protocol (TCP) port numbers used, by examining the data sent and received by the network, and/or looking up a profile for the user or device. If the user changes applications or some other event occurs on the mobile device that might cause a change in the profile of the traffic, the mobile device may terminate its current multislot class assignment and re-announce itself, allowing the system to transfer the mobile device to a new multislot class.

Abstract: A method and a system for sharing a subscriber identity module (“SIM”) card by multiple devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a SIM card, a handset device, a digital processing device, and a wireless modem. A handset device coupled, in one embodiment, is a cellular phone and is coupled to the SIM card. The handset device further includes short-range wireless circuitry that is capable of providing short range wireless communication with other short-range wireless devices. In one embodiment, the digital processing device is capable of obtaining the SIM data from the SIM card via a PAN, and then uses received SIM data to access the wireless communications network.
