1. A communication method, performed by a terminal including an application processor and a wireless communications module comprising:
determining whether a subscriber identity module (SIM) card in the terminal is powered on;
upon determining that the SIM card in the terminal is powered on, reading, by the wireless communications module, first information in the SIM card from the SIM card;
sending, by the wireless communications module, the first information to the application processor; and
obtaining, by the application processor based on the first information, an operator parameter, wherein the terminal uses the operator parameter to access a network of the operator by using the SIM card; and
the first information comprises one or more of an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), a service provider name (SPN), or a global identifier (GID),
wherein the reading of the first information from the SIM card by the wireless communications module is triggered by the determination of the SIM card being powered on and is performed at a moment at which the SIM card is determined to be powered on.
