Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Apparatus and methods for provisioning wireless devices for operation in one or more networks. In one embodiment, a provisioning service may provide access client (e.g., Subscriber Identity Module) data to a secure element in the wireless user device. The device may be preloaded with a provisioning SIM profile. The device may use the provisioning profile to roam onto a carrier, and communicate with a provisioning service, which may present the user with a list of available wireless carriers, such as carriers that service the user's current geographic location. In response to a user selection, the provisioning service may load a SIM profile associated with the selected carrier onto the secure element. The loaded SIM profile can be used to obtain wireless service from the selected carrier. The user may add multiple SIM profiles, and/or may delete SIM profiles.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for acquiring Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) data at a wireless electronic device loaded with a provisioning SIM profile, the method comprising: at the wireless electronic device: communicating information from the provisioning SIM profile to a local carrier, wherein the local carrier is configured to contact a provisioning carrier corresponding to the provisioning SIM profile, to determine whether the provisioning SIM profile is associated with…
