There is a method and system of removing duplicate Visitor Location Register (VLR) records, and updating the VLR's Global Title Address (GTA) in their Home Location Register (HLR) to avoid duplicate VLR impact to customer service, which may result in missed inbound calls and delayed inbound SMS. Duplicate VLR GTA means that one subscriber has more than one VLR record in different Mobile Switching Stations (MSS) or Mobile Switching Centers (MSC). The valid VLR is identified by comparing the “last active timestamp” of the same subscriber identity (IMSI, or MSISDN, or MDN) of VLR records obtained from each MSS/MSC. The VLR that has the most recent “last active timestamp” is used to identify the active/valid VLR which serves the subscriber. Afterwards the non-active VLR records will be deleted, and the VLR's GTA in HLR will be updated as needed.

Systems and methods for providing at least one electronic indication of network benefit of a telecommunication network include a first telecom network and a user device. The user device includes sim circuitry. The user device is structured to connect to the first telecom network and a secondary telecom network, receive at least one first device signal associated with the first telecom network and at least one secondary device signal associated with the secondary telecom network, determine one or more signal factors based on the at least one first device signal and the at least one secondary device signal, generate one or more network scores in response to the one or more signal factors determined, and based on the one or more network scores, provide at least one electronic indication of network benefit of the first telecom network and the secondary telecom network.

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a card assignment, allocation, and distribution service is provided. The service may include generating vendor-agnostic identifiers that create a unified inventory among cards of different vendors. The service may also include generating vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data based on the vendor-agnostic identifiers. The criterion data may be used to steer and distribute cards among distribution devices associated with different vendor platforms. The vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data may optimize or minimize the generation and storage of data used to manage allocation and distribution of cards. Also, the vendor-agnostic identifiers with criterion data may reduce and/or streamline the network processing in allocation and distribution procedures of the cards to end devices.

An electronic device may include a wireless communication circuit, a processor operatively connected to the wireless communication circuit, multiple SIMs, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory may store instructions which, when executed, may cause the processor to: acquire first subscriber identification information and second subscriber identification information from the multiple SIMs; generate a matching map in which RCS functions supported b the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are compared; search for whether the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are matched to each other, by using the matching map; when the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are not matched to each other, perform capability exchange with an external electronic device for the first subscriber identification information by using the wireless communication circuit; when the first subscriber identification information and the second subscriber identification information are matched to each other, search for whether a result of capability exchange for the second subscriber identification information is stored in the second subscriber identification information; and determine whether to activate or deactivate an RCS function which can be supported by the first subscriber identification information on the basis of the result of the capability exchange for the second subscriber identification information.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may be scheduled to perform a first measurement or paging activity associated with a target cell operating according to a first target cell configuration that is different from a serving cell operating according to a first serving cell configuration of the UE. In some cases, the UE may determine that the UE has performed a previous measurement or paging activity associated with the target cell while being served by the serving cell, the cells operating according to previous cell configurations. The UE may compare at least one of the first and previous target cell configurations or the first and previous serving cell configurations, and may perform the first measurement or paging activity using a script, where the script is either reused or rebuilt based on comparing the cell configurations.

A control device receives information, e.g., network status information and network loading information, from a plurality of service provider networks and device capability information and status information, from a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices. UEs subscribe to multiple service provider networks. In some geographical regions, coverage is provided by more than one network. The control device generates and sends device profile to network mapping information to UEs on an individual UE basis, e.g., for geographic regions, e.g., 3D regions, where multiple networks are available. Device profile to network mapping information sometimes includes criteria, e.g. rules, parameter, limits, etc. An application on the UE uses the received device profile to network mapping information, along with position information, to select a network/profile to use at a given time. Altering the information provided to one or more UEs allows the control device to perform load balancing between networks.

The present disclosure provides an information sending method, including in response to determining that a second SIM card in a connected state satisfies a handover condition for handing over the second SIM card from a first base station to a second base station, sending context information of a first SIM card to the first base station through the second SIM card, wherein the first SIM card is in an inactive state. According to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the first SIM card does not need to send the context information to the second base station separately, nor temporarily adjust its state, thus the times of communication between the terminal and the base station are reduced, the communication progress is simplified and the communication resources are saved.

There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: at a user equipment, the user equipment having a first universal subscriber identity module, USIM, associated with a first network and at least one second USIM associated with a second network, provide an indication from the at least one second USIM to the second network that paging notifications for the second network are to be provided to the first USIM of the user equipment via the first network, receive a paging notification for the second network at the first USIM of the user equipment via the first network and provide the paging notification from the first USIM to the second USIM in the user equipment.

To facilitate multiple subscription entities in a user device, solutions enabling use of an established wireless signaling connection between a network and a subscription entity to establish further wireless signaling connection(s) between the network and one or more other subscription entities are disclosed.

A method of providing a communication function in a user equipment includes receiving, at the user equipment, a login request to log the user in to the user equipment; determining, by the user equipment, based on the login, whether the user equipment has a communication profile associated with the user; if it is determined that the user equipment has a communication profile associated with the user, enabling the stored communication profile; if it is determined that the user equipment does not have a communication profile associated with the user stored: sending, by the user equipment, a first request to a first server to request support information for obtaining a communication profile associated with the user; receiving, at the user equipment, the support information from the first server; and obtaining, by the user equipment, the communication profile from the first server or a second server based on the support information.
