Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide storing multiple subscription profiles on a secure element; detecting a triggering event; using, by a first stack of a wireless end device, one of the subscription profiles to register with a first network service via a first network; indicating that the one of the subscription profiles is enabled; querying, by a second stack of the wireless end device, the secure element for another one of the subscription profiles; obtaining, by the second stack, access information to the other one of the subscription profiles; selecting, by the second stack, the other one of the subscription profiles; using, by the second stack, the other one of the subscription profiles to register with a second network service via a second network; and indicating that the other one of the subscription profiles is enabled.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device may include a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card configured to store a subscriber profile. The wireless communication device may further include logic configured to detect attachment to a wireless access network; detect a non-activated Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card; receive a Protocol Configuration Options (PCO) message from the wireless access network; retrieve subscription status information for the SIM card from the received PCO message; determine whether the SIM card has a valid subscription based on the retrieved subscription status information; and instruct the SIM card not to initiate an activation process with a SIM Over-the-air (OTA) system, in response to determining that the SIM card does not have a valid subscription.
