Abstract:
Using Near Field Communications (NFC) to provision a User Equipment (UE) with Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) data for accessing a wireless services provider's network. An NFC gesture initiates an NFC link between an NFC device and a UE containing NFC circuitry. The NFC link is used to transmit SIM data stored in a memory of the NFC device to the UE. The SIM data is received by the UE and stored in a memory of a SIM module in the UE. Thereafter, the SIM data is used to access the wireless network and obtain communication services therefrom.
