Abstract

The present disclosure relates to cellular service account transfer for accessory wireless devices. This application describes efficient cellular service transfer mechanisms for moving cellular service based on cellular service credentials, such as eSIMs, between accessory wireless devices in various scenarios, including, in some embodiments, the transfer of multiple eSIMs. The first and second accessory wireless devices and the primary wireless device are associated with a common user account. The transfer of credentials for cellular service access can occur between two accessory wireless devices via the primary wireless device, where the primary wireless device and the accessory wireless device interact with an applicable web-based server.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments described herein relate to wireless communications, including methods and apparatus that support the transfer of cellular wireless services, such as cellular voice and data services authorized by an electronic SIM (eSIM), between accessory wireless devices linked to a primary wireless device. Background technique [0002] Use newer radio access technologies and implement one or more of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), and the next generation of 5G standards (eg, Fourth Generation (4G) and 5G) Fifth-generation (5G)) cellular wireless networks are rapidly evolving and being deployed by network operators worldwide. Newer cellular wireless networks offer a range of packet-based voice and data services. Users of wireless devices can access services provided by wireless network service providers (also known as mobile network operators (MNOs)) based on service subscriptions controlled ...
