A method in a cellular communication network comprising the steps of: marking a SIM card as inactive when said SIM card has not been used for at least a quarantine duration, provisioning a recycler node by backing up managing parameters related to said inactive SIM card, in a database.

System and method for handling inactive SIM cards

A method in a cellular communication network comprising the following steps: marking a SIM card as dormant when said SIM card has not been used for at least an observation duration, provisioning a release node by backing up managing parameters related to said dormant SIM card, in a database, de-provisioning relevant managing nodes by removing managing parameters related to said dormant SIM card, redirecting any attachment request emanating from said dormant SIM card to the release node.

System and method for handling unused SIM cards

A Module connected through a communication network to at least a measuring mobile terminal, at least a mobile switch center and at least a machine to machine application, the module includes: a home location register configured to provide on demand, for a given measuring mobile terminal, an address of the mobile switch center through which the measuring mobile terminal is connected to the cellular communication network, an authentication center authenticating a given measuring mobile terminal, at least one short message service center configured to transmit the message towards a measuring mobile terminal, a short message service center interfaced between the cellular communication network and the machine to machine application, the home location register, the authentication center, the short message service center and the short message service center being embedded in a single physical structure forming at least in part the module.
