Operating a communications-enable application includes detecting a need for data transmission when the mobile device has a communications status which is incompatible with the need and sending a request to activate a secure profile. Controlling the secure profile includes receiving a request from an application to have data session access via a secure profile and activating a data session utilising a secure profile. Operating the cellular network includes receiving a request to establish a cellular network data communications session from a mobile device including the communications-enabled application and establishing a data session with the mobile device using the secure profile. A mobile device and cellular network for performing the methods are also provided.

A method is provided which includes receiving location information, performing a selection operation to select an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) for obtaining temporary bootstrap connectivity, and attempting to register with a network using the selected IMSI. The selection operation is configured to select one of a first plurality of IMSIs in a first location and one of a second, different, plurality of IMSIs in a second location. Each of the first plurality of IMSIs includes a first predetermined value for at least the first portion of each respective IMSI and each of the second plurality of IMSIs includes a second, different, predetermined value for at least the first portion of each respective IMSI.
