A method for operating a host device includes inserting a plug-in adapter, having a subscriber identity module (SIM) component disposed thereon, into a host receptacle of the host device. A memory card is inserted into a memory receptacle on the plug-in adapter. After inserting the plug-in adapter and the memory card, communications are conveyed between the host device and the SIM component via the adapter and the memory card.

Method for operating a memory interface with SIM functions

A plug-in adapter includes a first contact for connection to a host device, at least two second contacts for connection to a memory card, and a third contact for connection to a subscriber identity module (SIM) component. Circuitry in the adapter connects at least one of the second contacts to the third contact and connects at least another of the second contacts to the first contact so as to create a communication path between the host device and the SIM component via the memory card.
