This application discloses methods and apparatuses for radio frequency channel sharing. An example method includes sending, by a terminal, first user equipment (UE) capability information to a network side device after receiving UE capability enquiry signaling that is sent by the network side device for a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card. The example method further includes sending, by the terminal, second UE capability information to the network side device after receiving UE capability enquiry signaling that is sent by the network side device for a second SIM card, wherein radio frequency capability information in the first UE capability information is the same as radio frequency capability information in the second UE capability information.
