Patent ID: 8780797

Claim:
A universal integrated circuit card comprising: a universal subscriber identity module; a code division multiple access subscriber identity module; a memory to store instructions; and a processor to execute the instructions to: detect a base station; identify a type of base station associated with the detected base station; determine a type of wireless access network available to a user equipment, associated with the universal integrated circuit card, based on the identified type of base station; perform activation of the universal integrated circuit card using the universal subscriber identity module, in response to detecting a code division multiple access enhanced High Rate Packet Data network, a Global System for Mobile Communication access network, or a Long Term Evolution access network, wherein the activation includes obtaining a universal subscriber identity module file update and a code division multiple access subscriber identity module file update from a programming system; perform activation of the universal integrated circuit card using the code division multiple access subscriber identity module, in response to detecting an available code division multiple access access network other than a code division multiple access enhanced High Rate Packet Data access network, wherein the activation includes obtaining the universal subscriber identity module file update and the code division multiple access subscriber identity module file update from the programming system; and set an activation flag when activation of the universal integrated circuit card is complete.
