1. A method for establishing at least one wireless carrier connection at a wireless communication device comprising:
(a) determining identity of a first group of wireless carrier network(s) using at least one wireless communication transceiver; wherein the wireless communication device is connected to the first group of wireless carrier network(s) through the at least one wireless communication transceiver;
(b) determining a number of remote subscriber identification module(s) (SIM(s)) to be selected based on the number of available wireless communication transceivers at the wireless communication device;
(c) determining a second group of wireless carrier network(s) to be used based on the availability of wireless carrier network(s) at the location of the wireless communication device;
(d) selecting the number of remote SIM(s) determined to be selected corresponding to the second group of wireless carrier network(s);
(e) establishing multiple wireless carrier connections to maximize a number wireless carrier connection using the selected remote SIM(s);
wherein:
the sum of the number of the at least one wireless communication transceiver and the number of available wireless communication transceivers is the number of wireless communication transceivers housed in the wireless communication device;
each of the second group of wireless carrier network(s) are identified based on a location of the wireless communication device;
the wireless carrier network(s) of the first group of wireless carrier network(s) and the second group of wireless carrier network(s) are non-identical;
the selection of the number of remote SIM(s) is performed based on a SIM selection policy and the first group of wireless carrier network(s); and
the multiple wireless carrier connections are from different wireless carrier networks to reduce tariffs and roaming charges, and to improve network performance.
