A technique for receiving paging information helps a mobile communication device with multiple SIMs to better determine that a call is incoming. Despite the paging indicators for both SIMs arriving in a manner that prevents both the paging indicators from being received, the technique is able to ascertain whether a SIM is being paged, even when the other SIM is currently on the radio interface. As a result, the mobile communication device exhibits an increased ability to detect and alert the user to incoming calls.
