Apparatus and method for employing a page cycle learning mode

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• a communications interface configured for wireless communication;
• a processor module operably coupled to the communications interface and configured for managing communications over two different subscriptions;
• the processor being further configured for:
• utilizing the communication interface to transmit a call origination message over a first subscription, the call origination message configured to initiate a call utilizing the first subscription to the same user equipment over a second subscription;
• utilizing the communication interface to receive over the second subscription at least one paging message corresponding to the call;
• storing at the wireless communication device information associated with the at least one paging message;
• and
• determining a statistic corresponding to repetition of the at least one paging message.

An article of manufacture configured for use with a user equipment capable of enabling communication over two different subscriptions comprising a set of instructions stored on a storage device that when executed causes a processor of the user equipment to:

• utilize a transceiver to transmit a call origination message over a first subscription, the call origination message configured to initiate a call utilizing the first subscription to the same user equipment over a second subscription;
• utilize the transceiver to receive over the second subscription at least one paging message corresponding to the call;
• store at the user equipment information associated with the at least one paging message;
• and
• determine a statistic corresponding to repetition of the at least one paging message.
