1. A method of using a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs) at a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
(a) establishing a starter wireless connection by:
(i) selecting a first local SIM in a plurality of local SIMs to be assigned with a first wireless communication module (WCM); and
(ii) if the starter wireless connection is not established by using the first local SIM, selecting a second local SIM in the plurality of local SIMs to be assigned with the first WCM;
(b) when the starter wireless connection is established, connecting to a remote SIM bank in a plurality of remote SIM banks using the starter wireless connection;
(c) selecting a third local SIM in the plurality of local SIMs or a first remote SIM in a plurality of remote SIMs;
(d) assigning the third local SIM or the first remote SIM selected at step (c) with a second WCM to establish a first wireless connection; and
(e) when a threshold is not reached:
(i) selecting a fourth local SIM in the plurality of local SIMs or a second remote SIM in the plurality of remote SIMs; and
(ii) assigning the fourth local SIM or the second remote SIM selected at step (e) (i) with a third WCM to establish a second wireless connection;
wherein:
the plurality of remote SIMs is housed in the plurality of remote SIM banks; and
steps (e) (i)-(ii) are performed until the threshold is reached.
