Abstract: A method (500) for toggling multi-network connectivity of a mobile device (110) includes, for the mobile device simultaneously connected to one or more carrier-mediated wireless networks (120) associated with a network operator (70), executing a graphical user interface that renders a status graphic (320) indicating the mobile device is currently connected to at least one carrier-mediated wireless network associated with the network operator, and an interactive graphic (330) for selecting between disabling and enabling connections (122) between the mobile device and carrier-mediated wireless networks associated with the network operator. The method includes receiving a user input indication (312) indicating selection of the interactive graphic and in response, disconnecting the mobile device from each of the carrier-mediated wireless networks associated with the network operator and updating the status graphic to indicate that the mobile device is not currently connected to any carrier-mediated wireless networks associated with the network operator.

Abstract: A method (500) for demarcating carrier-mediated and user-mediated networks includes, for a mobile device (110) simultaneously connected to a first wireless network (120) and a second wireless network (120), determining whether the first wireless network is associated with a same network operator (70) as the second wireless network. When the operator is the same, the method includes establishing a virtual private network (VPN) (30) between the mobile device and a remote server (130). The VPN includes a first VPN connection (122) that connects the mobile device to the remote server over the first wireless network and a second VPN connection (122) that connects the mobile device to the remote server over the second wireless network. The method includes transmitting data (50) from the mobile device to the remote server over the VPN via one of the VPN connections. The remote server routes the data to a destination server (60).
