Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for a wireless communication device having multiple Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) in which a first SIM is associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) subscription used for IMS services. The method includes but not limited to, attaching the IMS subscription to a first cell of a packet-switched cellular network, determining a cause of IMS voice service being not currently available at the IMS subscription, determining availability of a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection at the IMS subscription, and providing voice service at the IMS subscription based on the cause of IMS voice service being not currently available and the availability of the WLAN connection at the IMS subscription.
