Facilitating routing requests received in wireless communication devices

A method for configuring a subscriber identity module (SIM) of a wireless communication device of a wireless subscriber for facilitating a routing request received in the wireless communication device, the method comprising:

• selecting a portion of the SIM adapted for receipt of encoding instructions;
• and
• encoding the selected portion with encoding instructions where in the encoding instructions enable the SIM to recognize a first string of data input by the wireless subscriber in a predetermined format and to resolve the first string of data into a second string of data comprising a predetermined format recognizable by a host system adapted to establish a wire-based communication between the wireless communication device and a destination communication device based on the second string of data.

A subscriber identity module (SIM) in communication with a wireless communication device of a wireless subscriber, the SIM comprising:

• an open environment portion adapted for receipt of encoding instructions;
• and
• a communication application residing on the open portion and adapted to configure the SIM to recognize a first string of data input by the wireless subscriber in the wireless communication device in a predetermined format, and to resolve the first string of data into a second string of data comprising a predetermined format recognizable by a host system adapted to establish a wire-based communication between the wireless communication device and a destination communication device based on the second string of data.
