A method in a wireless communication device operating in a locked mode, in which the wireless communication device is prevented from making or receiving a normal call but is allowed to initiate an emergency call to an emergency service center, for enabling the wireless communication device to receive incoming calls, the wireless communication device having a user removable module containing user information, the method comprising: transmitting an emergency call to an emergency service center, the method being characterized by: receiving an indication allowing access to at least a subset of the user information contained in the user removable module in response to transmitting the emergency call; accessing the at least a subset of the user information in response to receiving an indication; transmitting information based on the at least a subset of the user information accessed and by transmitting, beginning operation of the wireless communication device in a pseudo-normal mode in which the wireless communication device is able to receive incoming calls for a predefined period of time; registering the wireless communication device to a local wireless network after transmitting information based on the at least a subset of the user information to enable the wireless communication device to begin operating in the pseudo-normal mode; and responding, whilst operating in the pseudo-normal mode, to incoming calls for the predefined period of time. transmitting an emergency call to an emergency service center, the method being characterized by: receiving an indication allowing access to at least a subset of the user information contained in the user removable module in response to transmitting the emergency call; accessing the at least a subset of the user information in response to receiving an indication; transmitting information based on the at least a subset of the user information accessed and by transmitting, beginning operation of the wireless communication device in a pseudo-normal mode in which the wireless communication device is able to receive incoming calls for a predefined period of time; registering the wireless communication device to a local wireless network after transmitting information based on the at least a subset of the user information to enable the wireless communication device to begin operating in the pseudo-normal mode; and responding, whilst operating in the pseudo-normal mode, to incoming calls for the predefined period of time. receiving an indication allowing access to at least a subset of the user information contained in the user removable module in response to transmitting the emergency call; accessing the at least a subset of the user information in response to receiving an indication; transmitting information based on the at least a subset of the user information accessed and by transmitting, beginning operation of the wireless communication device in a pseudo-normal mode in which the wireless communication device is able to receive incoming calls for a predefined period of time; registering the wireless communication device to a local wireless network after transmitting information based on the at least a subset of the user information to enable the wireless communication device to begin operating in the pseudo-normal mode; and responding, whilst operating in the pseudo-normal mode, to incoming calls for the predefined period of time.
