Abstract
A method provides dynamically changing a mobile communication device by communicative coupling with a dynamic subscriber identity module (SIM). The method comprises identifying, via a communication transceiver, a mobile communication network that corresponds with one carrier sub-partition of a carrier partition of the mobile communication device. The method polls an identification of an active carrier applet from the dynamic SIM, one carrier applet of a plurality being the active carrier applet. Responsive to a trigger event, one carrier sub-partition changes dynamically to another carrier sub-partition, each corresponding with a different wireless communication identity. The corresponding wireless communication identity is activated based on confirming the identification of the active carrier applet is associated with the corresponding wireless communication identity. The mobile communication device conducts wireless communication coupling based on the activated corresponding wireless communication identity and active carrier applet of the dynamic SIM.
