## Abstract

A method includes receiving at a device a request to send data to a destination device. The device includes first subscriber identity module (SIM) card information that enables first delivery according to a best-efforts delivery priority via a wireless network and includes second SIM card information that enables second delivery according to a quality of service delivery priority at or above a first delivery rate via the wireless network. The method includes determining, at the device, a first portion of the data to send using the first delivery based on a throughput value for data transmission to the destination device via the first delivery. The method also includes determining, at the device, a second portion of the data to send using the second delivery based on the throughput value. The second portion includes none of the data responsive to the throughput value being greater than a first threshold.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
receiving, at a wireless communication device, a request to send data to a destination device, wherein the wireless communication device includes first subscriber identity module card information that enables first delivery according to a best-efforts delivery priority via a wireless network, and wherein the wireless communication device includes second subscriber identity module card information that corresponds to second delivery at least at a first delivery rate via the wireless network;
determining, at the wireless communication device, a first portion of the data to send using the first delivery based on a throughput value for data transmission to the destination device via the first delivery; and
determining, at the wireless communication device, a second portion of the data to send using the second delivery based on the throughput value, wherein the second portion includes none of the data responsive to the throughput value being greater than a first threshold.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising, responsive to the first portion and the second portion each including some of the data, concurrently sending the first portion to the destination device using the first delivery and the second portion to the destination device using the second delivery.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising sending the first portion to the destination device via the first delivery.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising sending the second portion to the destination device via the second delivery.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the first portion includes none of the data when the throughput value is less than a second threshold.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the wireless communication device includes third subscriber identity module card information that enables third delivery according to a best-efforts delivery priority via a second wireless network different than the wireless network.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, further comprising determining, at the wireless communication device, a third portion of the data to send with the third delivery based on a second throughput value for data transmission to the destination device via the third delivery.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, further comprising sending the data to the destination device via the first delivery, the second delivery, the third delivery, or combinations thereof.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the data comprises video content from a video camera.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the data comprises particular data from field equipment.

### Claim 11

A wireless communication device comprising:
a processor, and
memory accessible to the processor, the memory comprising instructions executable by the processor to perform operations including:
receiving a request to send data to a destination device, wherein the processor is configured to access first subscriber identity module card information that enables first delivery according to a best-efforts delivery priority via a wireless network, wherein the processor is configured to access second subscriber identity module card information, and wherein the second subscriber identity module card information corresponds to second delivery at least at a first delivery rate via the wireless network;
determining a first portion of the data to send using the first delivery based on a throughput value for data transmission to the destination device via the first delivery; and
determining a second portion of the data to send with the second delivery based on the throughput value, wherein the second portion includes none of the data responsive to the throughput value being greater than a first threshold.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The wireless communication device of claim 11, further comprising a video camera coupled to the processor, wherein the data comprises video data from the video camera.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The wireless communication device of claim 11, wherein the processor accesses the first subscriber identity module card information, the second subscriber identity module card information, or both, from the memory.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The wireless communication device of claim 11, further comprising a subscriber identity module card slot configured to enable a subscriber identity module card to be electrically coupled to the processor.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The wireless communication device of claim 14, wherein the second subscriber identity module card information is accessed by the processor from a particular subscriber identity module card positioned in the subscriber identity module card slot.

### Claim 16

A computer-readable storage device storing instructions executable by a processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request to send data to a destination device, wherein the processor is configured to access first subscriber identity module card information that enables first delivery according to a best-efforts delivery priority via a first wireless network, and wherein the processor is configured to access second subscriber identity module card information that corresponds to-enables second delivery at least at a first delivery rate via a second wireless network different than the first wireless network;
determining a first portion of the data to send using the first delivery based on a throughput value for data transmission to the destination device via the first delivery; and
determining a second portion of the data to send using the second delivery based on the throughput value, wherein the second portion includes none of the data responsive to the throughput value being greater than a first threshold.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The computer-readable storage device of claim 16, wherein the operations further comprise, responsive to the first portion and the second portion each including some of the data, concurrently sending the first portion to the destination device using the first delivery and the second portion to the destination device using the second delivery.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The computer-readable storage device of claim 16, wherein the processor is configured to access third subscriber identity module card information that enables third delivery according to a best-efforts delivery priority via the second wireless network, and wherein the operations further comprise determining a third portion of the data to send with the third delivery based on a second throughput value for data transmission to the destination device via the third delivery.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The computer-readable storage device of claim 18, wherein the operations further comprise sending the data to the destination device via the first delivery, the second delivery, the third delivery, or combinations thereof.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)
