Embodiment Construction

[0016] As mentioned above, in conventional systems where the SIM card in the mobile device is associated with a single operator network, the mobile device has limited options regarding accessing the services of the various operator networks. For example, when a user and the user's mobile device travel internationally, the mobile device may continue to use the mobile device's current carrier plan associated with the mobile device's SIM card. However, users of mobile devices may not have any awareness of the cost of roaming data, calling or messaging usage, which can be very expensive.

[0017] Another option in conventional systems when a user is traveling internationally is for the user to purchase a prepaid SIM card for the country the user is visiting. However, this solution adds the inconvenience of having to purchase and install a new SIM card for each country the user visits.

Abstract

A system and method for accessing a carrier network by a client device. The method includes: receiving a selection of a first plan from a carrier marketplace that includes at least the first plan and a second plan, wherein the first plan corresponds to a first set of services provided by a first carrier network, and the second plan corresponds to a second set of services provided by a second carrier network; downloading a carrier profile from the server device to a multi-profile UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) included in the client device, wherein the carrier profile is associated with the first plan; and storing the carrier profile in the multi-profile UICC.

Description

Background technique [0001] Mobile devices connected to a wireless communication subscriber network are typically identified to the network before being authorized to access network services. One method of providing identification is through the use of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. A typical SIM card contains a memory device and associated circuitry enabling the memory device of the SIM card to be read by the mobile device. Typically, a SIM card contains a unique serial number, such as an Integrated Circuit Card Identifier (ICCID), an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), security authentication and encryption information, temporary information related to any local area network, a list of services accessed by the mobile device, user Contact information, and two passwords: a personal identification number (PIN) for normal use and a personal unlocking key (PUK) for PIN unlocking. [0002] During operation, the mobile device utilizes the SIM card to access...
