I assume this reference is to additional code on the SIM that some providers use for specific tasks ... like downloading WAP settings, accessing additional phone books, adding value to prepaid accounts, making purchases, accessing bank accounts, and the like. Usually this appears as a separate item on the phone's menu, which usually bears the name of the carrier in the title. Perhaps, then, this SIM APPLICATIONS entry is a placeholder for such a menu item. The only way to "make them available" is to insert a SIM from a cellular carrier that has implemented such functions and coded them into their SIM.
