Description: Next generation services are provided by applications that leverage packet-based domains. A challenge faced by such services is the support for multiple devices, including legacy devices. Our paper examines a strategy for the pro-vision of next generation services on legacy cellular network devices. We ad-vocate that the provision of next generation services via applications on the SIM card allows for the deployment of such services on legacy devices. We demonstrate this assertion through a proof of concept application, SIMPre, that resides on a SIM card. SIMPre implements a presence service by leveraging Java Card, the SIM Application Toolkit and the OMA IMPS standard. We show that it is possible to provide a next generation service on the SIM card such that it ubiquitously integrates with the functionality of a legacy device. We con-clude through this demonstration that the SIM card is a viable option for provid-ing backward compatibility to legacy devices in the implementation of next generation services.
