There is provided a mobile device (102) comprising a wireless communication transceiver (202), a radio frequency identification reader (228) and a processor (204) configured to manage operation of the wireless communication transceiver (202) and the radio frequency identification reader (228), and a method thereof. The wireless communication transceiver (202) is configured to communicate with a remote wireless station (104, 106). The radio frequency identification reader (228) is configured to transmit an outgoing electromagnetic wave signal to a radio frequency identification tag (128, 230) and receive an incoming electromagnetic wave signal in response to the outgoing electromagnetic wave signal. The incoming electromagnetic wave signal includes an identification number associated with the radio frequency identification tag. The processor (204) restricts operation of a function associated with the incoming electromagnetic wave signal in response to determining that the radio frequency identification reader has received the incoming electromagnetic wave signal.
