1. A fast booting method for a mobile communication device comprising:
providing a memory module within the mobile communication device, wherein the memory module comprises a virtual identity module storage and a mobile communication data storage;
providing an identity module within the mobile communication device;
determining whether, or not, a set of data in the identity module is stored in the virtual identity module storage to represent a virtual identity module;
if the set of data in the identity module is not stored in the virtual identity module storage, copying the set of data in the identity module into the virtual identity module storage to represent the virtual identity module and then reading and writing the set of data of the virtual identity module to the mobile communication data storage for carrying out a following booting process;
if the set of data in the identity module is stored in the virtual identity module storage, reading and writing the set of data of the virtual identity module from the virtual identity module storage to the mobile communication data storage for carrying out the following booting process; and
carrying out a deleting process for deleting a set of data stored in the virtual identity module storage different from said the set of data in the identity module, if the virtual identity module storage is incapable of storing any more set of data stored in the identity module.
