A communication device includes a communication circuit, one or more processors operable with the communication circuit, one or more memory devices, operable with the one or more processors, a user interface, operable with the one or more processors, and a receiver to receive a subscriber identification module to enable at least some communication by the communication circuit. A locking mechanism, operable with the receiver and responsive to the one or more processors, can selectively physically retain the subscriber identity module within the receiver.
