Abstract
The present invention is directed to electronic and global communication systems, devices, and methods resulting from the realization that global usage of mobile phones may be made easier and more secure by providing a system and method which have multiple subscriber identification modules (SIMs) cards including domestic and international SIM cards that enable businessmen, politicians and others to stay connected with their co-workers when traveling abroad by receiving calls and emails without paying high roaming and international fees.

A system comprising:
- a. at least one processor;
- b. at least one communications means electronically connected to the at least one processor, wherein said at least one communications means is operative to connect to a wireless communications network;
- c. at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules;
- and
- d. computer executable instructions readable by the at least one processor, and operative to:
- i. determine whether at least one local subscriber identification module and at least one global subscriber identification module are present in the at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules, wherein the at least one local subscriber identification module is assigned to a traditional phone number and the at least one global subscriber identification module is assigned to a unique global phone number;
- ii. receive or transmit communications to or from the traditional phone number and the unique global phone number if both the at least one local subscriber identification module and the at least one global subscriber identification module are present in the at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules;
- and
- iii. prevent any communications to or from the unique global phone number if the at least one local subscriber identification module is not present in the at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules.

A method comprising:
- a. using at least one processor to perform any or all of the following steps:
- i. determining whether at least one local subscriber identification module and at least one global subscriber identification module are present in at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules, wherein the at least one local subscriber identification module is assigned to a traditional phone number and the at least one global subscriber identification module is assigned to a unique global phone number;
- ii. using at least one communications means to receive or transmit communications to or from the traditional phone number and the unique global phone number if both the at least one local subscriber identification module and the at least one global subscriber identification module are present in the at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules;
- and
- iii. preventing any communications to or from the unique global phone number if the at least one local subscriber identification module is not present in the at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:
- a. computer executable instructions readable by at least one processor and operative to perform any or all of the following steps or functions:
- i. determining whether at least one local subscriber identification module and at least one global subscriber identification module are present in at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules, wherein the at least one local subscriber identification module is assigned to a traditional phone number and the at least one global subscriber identification module is assigned to a unique global phone number;
- ii. using at least one communications means to receive or transmit communications to or from the traditional phone number and the unique global phone number if both the at least one local subscriber identification module and the at least one global subscriber identification module are present in the at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules;
- and
- iii. preventing any communications to or from the unique global phone number if the at least one local subscriber identification module is not present in the at least one means for accepting at least two subscriber identification modules.
