Abstract

A method for controlling a mobile communications device and a mobile communications device including a radio processing circuit and a baseband processing circuit adapted to interact with the radio processing circuit, configured to: receive a first call on a first subscriber identity module of a mobile communications device; receive a second call on a second subscriber identity module of the mobile communications device; suspend the first call on a local hold; switch to the second call from the first call; transmit a message to the first call while the second call is active.

Claims (59)

1. A mobile communications device comprising a radio processing circuit and a baseband processing circuit adapted to interact with the radio processing circuit, the mobile communications device configured to:

receive a first call based on a first subscription of a mobile communications device;

receive a second call based on a second subscription of the mobile communications device;

pause the first call on a local hold;

switch to the second call from the first call; and

provide an audio message at a first bit rate from the mobile communications device to the first call while the second call is active;

wherein speech for the second call is provided at a second bit rate.

2. The mobile communications device of claim 1 further configured to:

detect an absence of audio input to the mobile communications device.

3. The mobile communications device of claim 2 further configured to:

provide the audio message during the absence of audio input.

4. The mobile communications device of claim 1 ,

wherein the first bit rate is lower than the second bit rate.

5. The mobile communications device of claim 1 further configured to:

receive the audio message at the mobile communications device.

6. The mobile communications device of claim 5 further configured to:

convert the audio message into a digital form.

7. The mobile communications device of claim 6 further configured to:

save the digital form of the audio message in a memory.

8. The mobile communications device of claim 7 further configured to:

provide the digital form of the audio message to a transmitter configured to provide the audio message.

9. The mobile communications device of claim 1 ,

wherein the first call and/or the second call is a voice call.

10. A method for controlling a mobile communications device, the method comprising:

receiving a first call based on a first subscription of a mobile communications device;

receiving a second call based on a second subscription of the mobile communications device;

suspending the first call on a local hold;

switching to the second call from the first call;

detecting an absence of audio input to the mobile communications device on the second call;

providing an audio message at a first bit rate to the first call while the second call is active;

wherein speech for the second call is provided at a second bit rate; and

providing the audio message during the absence of audio input.

11. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the first bit rate is lower than the second bit rate.

12. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the first bit rate is for an audio codec.

13. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the second bit rate is for an audio codec.

14. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

receiving the audio message at the mobile communications device.

15. The method of claim 14 further comprising:

converting the audio message into a digital form.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising:

saving the digital form of the audio message in a memory.

17. The method of claim 16 further comprising:

providing the digital form of the audio message to a transmitter configured to provide the audio message.

18. The method of claim 16 ,

wherein the first call and/or the second call is a voice call.

19. A mobile communications device comprising a radio processing circuit and a baseband processing circuit adapted to interact with the radio processing circuit, the mobile communications device configured to:

convert an audio message into a digital form;

store the digital form of the audio message in a memory of the mobile communications device

receive a first call for a first subscription of the mobile communications device;

receive a second call for a second subscription of the mobile communications device;

pause the first call on a local hold;

switch to the second call from the first call; and

provide the stored digital form of the audio message to a transmitter of the mobile communications device that is configured to provide the audio message to the first call while the second call is active;

wherein speech for the second call is provided at a second bit rate and the audio message provided to the first call is provided at a first bit rate lower than the second bit rate.

20. The mobile communications device of claim 19 ,

wherein the first call and/or the second call is a voice call.
