Abstract
Methods and apparatuses that select initial subscriber information module (SIM) profile via a mobile device are described. Multiple SIM profiles including a first SIM profile and a second SIM profile can be stored on a SIM card for the mobile device. The mobile device may attempt to connect to a first network via the first SIM profile. In response to a failure to connect to the first network according to the first SIM profile, the mobile device can access the second SIM profile to connect to a second network according to the second SIM profile. In an embodiment, this logic continues to the next SIM profiles stored on the SIM card for the mobile device until it is successfully connected to a network.
