Abstract

A wireless communication device is described in one example comprising a first communication module circuitry to communicatively couple the wireless communication device with a first network, the first communication module circuitry to receive a reject message from the first network to disable communications with the first network, a processor to store, in memory, information corresponding to the communications with the first network; and a second communication module circuitry to communicatively couple the wireless communication device with a second network, the second communication module circuitry to send the information to a remote service monitor, wherein the first communication module circuitry includes a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) or a first virtual SIM and the second communication module circuitry includes a second SIM or a second virtual SIM. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Claims (13)

1. A wireless communication device, comprising:

a first communication module circuitry to communicatively couple the wireless communication device with a first network, the first communication module circuitry to receive a reject message from the first network to disable communications with the first network;

a processor to store, in memory, information corresponding to the communications with the first network; and

a second communication module circuitry to communicatively couple the wireless communication device with a second network, the second communication module circuitry to send the information to a remote service monitor, wherein the second communication module circuitry is to receive a short message service (SMS) command or a Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency signaling (DTMF) command from the remote service monitor;

wherein the first communication module circuitry includes a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) or a first virtual SIM and the second communication module circuitry includes a second SIM or a second virtual SIM.

2. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is to trigger a switch from the first SIM or the first virtual SIM to the second SIM or the second virtual SIM based on the reject message.

3. The wireless communication device of claim 2 , wherein the second communication module circuitry is to transmit a register request to the second network and to receive a registration accept message from the second network.

4. The wireless communication device of claim 3 , wherein the second communication module circuitry is to transmit a Short Message Service (SMS) message with the information to the remote service monitor.

5. The wireless communication device of claim 4 , wherein the command from the remote service monitor is to restart the wireless communication device, to reset the first SIM or the first virtual SIM of the first communication module circuitry, or to modify profiles of the first SIM or the first virtual SIM of the first communication module circuitry.

6. The wireless communication device of claim 5 , wherein, the processor is to restore the communications with the first network based on the command, and to disconnect the second communication module circuitry from the second network based on the restored communications with the first network.

7. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication device is to operate in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) single mode and the first network is a Packet Switch (PS) network, and the second network is a Circuit Switch (CS) network.

8. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication device is to operate in Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) or Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) multi-mode and the first network is a PS network or a CS network, and the second network is a PS network or a CS network.

9. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication device is an Internet of Things (IoT) device.
