Apparatuses aned methods for communication using a subcriber identity module

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising computer program code,
• the at least one memory and computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to
• receive a request from a user to remotely access at least one physical subscriber identity module (SIM) that is assigned to a global network of radio communications gateways;
• and
• assign at least one of said at least one subscriber identity module (SIM) to one of the radio communications gateways,
• wherein the assigning results in the at least one subscriber identity module (SIM) being able to route communication to or from the user via the assigned radio communications gateway, and
• wherein the assigning results in the at least one subscriber identity module (SIM) remotely serving as a dedicated subscriber identity module (SIM) for the user.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon for performing a process, comprising:

• receiving a request from a user to remotely access at least one physical subscriber identity module (SIM) that is assigned to a global network of radio communications gateways;
• and
• assigning at least one of said at least one subscriber identity module (SIM) to one of the radio communications gateways,
• wherein the assigning results in the at least one subscriber identity module (SIM) being able to route communication to or from the user via the assigned radio communications gateway, and
• wherein the assigning results in the at least one subscriber identity module (SIM) remotely serving as a dedicated subscriber identity module (SIM) for the user.
