Patent ID: 8837449

Claim:
A universal integrated circuit card comprising: a universal subscriber identity module; a code division multiple access subscriber identity module; and logic configured to: determine that updates to the universal integrated circuit card are to be performed; determine a type of wireless access network available to a user equipment associated with the universal integrated circuit card; detect whether the type of available wireless access network corresponds to a code division multiple access enhanced High Rate Packet Data network or a code division multiple access network other than a code division multiple access enhanced High Rate Packet Data network; request updates using the universal subscriber identity module, in response to detecting an available code division multiple access enhanced High Rate Packet Data network and in response to determining that updates are to be performed; request updates using the code division multiple access subscriber identity module, in response to detecting an available code division multiple access network other than a code division multiple access enhanced High Rate Packet Data network and in response to determining that updates are to be performed; receive, from a programming system, universal subscriber identity module file updates, in response to requesting updates using the universal subscriber identity module or using the code division multiple access subscriber identity module; and receive, from the programming system, code division multiple access subscriber identity module file updates, in response to requesting updates using the universal subscriber identity module or using the code division multiple access subscriber identity module.
