Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for downloading coverage based subscriber identity module (SIM) profiles. One of the methods includes receiving an order for a location-specific SIM profile for a user account. The method includes determining a coverage area associated with the user account, and determining the location-specific SIM profile for the user account based on the coverage area. The method includes receiving, from a machine to machine (M2M) SIM, a request to activate a mobile device that includes the M2M SIM, wherein the request comprises an identifier of the mobile device corresponding to the user account, and transmitting, to the mobile device, the location-specific SIM profile.

Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for enabling a universal unlock microservice for user equipment. One such method includes: obtaining a serial number of the user equipment, decomposing the serial number of the user equipment, in response to decomposing the serial number, determining the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the user equipment, in response to determining the OEM, determining a correct Application Program Interface (API) to receive an unlock request for the user equipment, triggering an over the air (OTA) unlock request for the user equipment using a microservice, and sending a call to the correct API to unlock the user equipment.

By providing and using a machine-to-machine (M2M) Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) in a consumer cellular telephone, a wireless carrier is able to download and manage profiles on the eUICC and is able to enable it for service on new networks, such as a wireless carrier's 5G or other network and migrate the cellular telephone to the new network without any interaction of the consumer with the cellular telephone and, in most cases, without any knowledge of the consumer that anything on their cellular telephone or SIM has changed. This is different from consumer style eUICCs where interaction of the consumer with the cellular telephone is needed.
