Abstract
A system for a vehicle includes a modem and a telematics controller. The modem is configured to operate in a normal service mode in which the modem connects to a mobile network whenever possible according to a subscriber identity module (SIM) configuration of the modem, and in an emulated limited service mode in which the modem emulates network conditions of a limited service mode by refraining from providing data or voice connectivity outside of emergency services. The telematics controller is programmed to responsive to receipt of an indication to transition from the normal service mode to the limited service mode, wait for any active data or voice connections to the mobile network to terminate, and responsive to termination of any active data or voice connections to the mobile network, transition the modem from the normal mode to the emulated limited service mode.
