A wireless device having a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with a first subscription and a second SIM associated with a second subscription, to handle communications using the first SIM and the second SIM, wherein the wireless device is to:

• establish an access connection for the wireless device to the first subscription by use of the first SIM, wherein the second SIM is inactive while the first SIM is active;
• establish an internet connection between the wireless device and the second subscription by use of the first SIM, while the first SIM is active in an ongoing communication;
• and
• receive, by the wireless device via use of the SIM which is active, a notification over the internet connection from the second subscription indicating that an incoming communication directed to the second SIM has been received by the second subscription.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed on at least one processor, cause a wireless device, having a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with a first subscription and a second SIM associated with a second subscription, to handle communications using the first SIM and the second SIM by performing operations comprising:

• establishing an access connection for the wireless device to the first subscription by use of the first SIM, wherein the second SIM is inactive while the first SIM is active;
• establishing an internet connection between the wireless device and the second subscription by use of the first SIM, while the first SIM is active in an ongoing communication;
• and
• receiving, by the wireless device via use of the first SIM which is active, a notification over the internet connection from the second subscription indicating that an incoming communication directed to the second SIM has been received by the second subscription.
