programs that also have an HTML version for desktop use. Work is currently under way on building interfaces between the two technologies.

For an operator, a company or service provider, SIM AT offers a powerful way to deploy programs and services to users, without the need for new or upgraded equipment. All necessary setup and programming is distributed to users over the air, directly to their phones. In the T68i, 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 to the user.
