A communication device (100) includes a card reader (102). The card reader includes a card support (104) for a first sized subscriber card (101). The card reader also accommodates a second size card (108) between the card support and a contact assembly (106).

Communication device for different sized cards

A support assembly for a transportable radiotelephone. The support assembly forms a transceiver unit receiving platform which supportively affixes a transceiver unit in position thereat when positioned thereat. Connection with a battery supply, a handset, and an antenna is formed by merely properly positioning the transceiver unit at the transceiver unit receiving platform.
