A subscriber identity module (SIM). The SIM comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory storing a configuration file, a wireless identity, a wireless access key, and a remote update agent stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor, the remote update agent determines that the SIM is communicatively coupled to a wireless communication network via a radio transceiver of a communication device with which the SIM is associated, in response to determining that the SIM is communicatively coupled to the wireless communication network, sends a provide local information (PLI) command to the mobile communication device to acquire network measurement results (NMR) based on the configuration file, transmits NMR data via the radio transceiver using a bearer independent protocol (BIP), receives SIM update information via the radio transceiver, and stores the SIM update information in the configuration file in the non-transitory memory.

Subscriber identity module (SIM) remote update agent

A user equipment and wireless provisioning method and system associated with a first wireless network are provided. The wireless provisioning system includes a processor, a network interface in communication with the first wireless network, and a non-transitory memory storing a first set and a second set of information of a profile related to operation of a UE on a second wireless network. The processor transmits the first set of information to the UE for provisioning to the UE files associated with authorization and authentication of the UE on the second wireless network. The processor validates that the first set of information was provisioned to the UE and transmits the second set of information to the UE for provisioning to the UE pointer updates for updating pointers on the UE to point to the first set of information. The processor transmits an instruction for the UE to reboot.

System and methods for over-the-air SIM profile transfer

A universal integrated circuit card (UICC) smart card is disclosed. The UICC smart card comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, a call control application stored in the non-transitory memory, and an application stored in the non-transitory memory. The call control application, when executed by the processor, receives dialed digits from a dialer application executing on a mobile communication device, wherein the UICC smart card is communicatively coupled to the mobile communication device and distributes the dialed digits within the UICC smart card. The application, when executed by the processor, receives the dialed digits distributed by the call control application, identifies a short code included in the dialed digits, selects instructions stored in the non-transitory memory based on the short code, and configures the UICC smart card by causing the processor to execute the selected instructions.

Universal integrated circuit card (UICC) toolkit

A subscriber identity module (SIM) card. The SIM card comprises a processor and a non-transitory memory that stores an initiation application and a plurality of profile components, where the plurality of components comprise the components of a USIM, the components of a CSIM, and the components of an ISIM. When executed by the processor, the initiation application looks up a profile identity in a table of profile identities stored in the non-transitory memory based on an identity of a brand and model of a mobile communication device with which the SIM card is associated, builds a SIM profile associated with the looked-up profile identity from the plurality of profile components, where the SIM profile comprises an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), a file that defines roaming behavior, and mobile network authentication keys, and sends at least some of the contents of the SIM profile to the radio transceiver.
