Sony Ericsson manual SIM Application Toolkit, SIM AT Services Supported By The T20e

SIM APPLICATION TOOLKIT

The SIM Application Toolkit (SIM AT) is a smartcard-centric method of deploying programs that apply only to GSM and to SMS and USSD transports. Programs must be distributed on smartcards. WAP is an Internet-centric method of deploying programs that is independent of network technology. Programs and content are kept centrally on web servers and downloaded as required. While there is some overlap, WAP is a particularly good choice when deploying pro- grams that also have an HTML version for desktop use. Work is currently underway on building interfaces between the two technologies.

For an operator, a company or service provider, SIM AT offers a powerful way to deploy pro- grams and services to users, without the need for new or upgraded equipment. All necessary setup and programming is distributed to the users over the air, directly to their phones. In the T20e, a separate menu is available for functions residing on the SIM card. These can include submenus for controlling functions, and also functions which allow the phone to initiate calls, send data, and display information for the user.
