Access terminals are adapted to facilitate automated configuration of communications interfaces based on a current carrier identity. According to one example, an access terminal may determine a carrier identity from a subscription module. A modem configuration associated with the carrier identity may be selected from modem configuration data stored on a storage medium accessible by the access terminal. The selected carrier-specific software configuration may then be activated to configure a communications interface of the access terminal to facilitate operations associated with the carrier identity, such as facilitating wireless communications with a carrier associated with the carrier identity. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

Devices and methods for facilitating automated configuration of communications interfaces

Methods and systems enable communication devices equipped with software defined radio based chipset modules to seamlessly re-program the communication device to operate on any of a variety of service provider networks. By re-programming a communication device equipped with software defined radio based chipset module, the communication device can support communications over both UMTS and CDMA communication networks. An environment is provided which allows a user to quickly and efficiently switch between service provider accounts supporting communications.
