Abstract: Systems and methods for providing non-active subscriber identity module (SIM) services leveraging multiple SIMs configured at multiple UEs are disclosed herein. A primary user equipment (UE), activating a first SIM of a dual SIM dual standby (DSDS) configuration used by the primary UE to perform active-mode network communications on the first SIM and sends, to a secondary UE, an indication to activate a second SIM of the DSDS configuration in response to the activating the first SIM of the DSDS configuration used by the primary UE. The secondary UE receives the indication to activate the second SIM of the first DSDS configuration used by the primary UE and activates the second SIM for use by the secondary UE in response to receiving the indication. Accordingly, the secondary UE may handle any network communications on the second SIM during the network communications on the first SIM at the primary UE.
