Abstract
A method (500) for toggling multi-network connectivity of a mobile device (110) includes, for the mobile device simultaneously connected to one or more carrier-mediated wireless networks (120) associated with a network operator (70), executing a graphical user interface that renders a status graphic (320) indicating the mobile device is currently connected to at least one carrier-mediated wireless network associated with the network operator, and an interactive graphic (330) for selecting between disabling and enabling connections (122) between the mobile device and carrier-mediated wireless networks associated with the network operator. The method includes receiving a user input indication (312) indicating selection of the interactive graphic and in response, disconnecting the mobile device from each of the carrier-mediated wireless networks associated with the network operator and updating the status graphic to indicate that the mobile device is not currently connected to any carrier-mediated wireless networks associated with the network operator.
