A subscriber unit (101) includes a SIM card reader (107) for receiving a SIM card (105). The subscriber unit (101) is serialized and has stored therein an alphanumeric signature value which is associated with the specific serialized subscriber unit (101). The subscriber unit (101) is fully operable only with a SIM card (105) having stored therein the specific signature value corresponding to the serialized subscriber unit (101). A user having a SIM card (105) containing the specific signature value for that subscriber unit can select a mode of user operation which will permit multiple selected SIM card holding users to use the subscriber unit.
