Abstract
An electronic mobile device that supports a subscriber identification module (SIM) profile scans a base station cell that is associated with a different SIM profile in response to an inability to connect with a wireless network associated with the electronic mobile device's SIM profile. The electronic mobile device obtains cell information from the base station cell associated with the different SIM profile in response to the scanning. The cell information may include country associated data such as Mobile Country Code (MCC) or a System Identification (SID) data. Based on the obtained cell information, the electronic mobile device determines a current geographic location. The electronic mobile device may then adjust operation of a service, such as an application, of the electronic mobile device based on the determined country. Corresponding methods are also described.
