According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise at least one embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) each storing at least one subscriber identity information and at least one processor electrically connected to the eUICC. The at least one processor may control to connect with an external electronic device through communication, receive a subscription information request for subscription transfer from the external electronic device, identify at least one transferable subscription information from profile information stored in the eUICC, in response to the reception of the subscription information request, transmit the identified at least one transferable subscription information to the external electronic device, receive to-be-transferred subscription information selected from among the at least one transferable subscription information from the external electronic device, request a server to authenticate the to-be-transferred subscription selected by the external electronic device, receive information corresponding to a result of the authentication from the server, in response to the request for the authentication, and transmit information for subscription transfer including the information corresponding to the authentication result to the external electronic device.

Electronic device and method for transferring subscription by using embedded SIM in the electronic device

An electronic device includes at least one embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) each storing at least one subscriber identification information, and at least one processor electrically connected with the eUICC. The at least one processor may be configured to control to transmit, to a first server, a first request message including information about an operation related to a subscription or a subscription transfer based on the eUICC and receive a first response message from the first server, in response to the transmission of the first request message. The first response message may include information indicating that a profile to be provided for the eUICC is not ready in response to the first request message.

Electronic device and method for installing profile of embedded subscriber identity module in electronic device

An electronic device according to an embodiment may include: a first wireless communication circuit configured to support a first communication protocol, a second wireless communication circuit configured to support a second communication protocol, at least one processor operatively coupled with the first wireless communication circuit and the second wireless communication circuit, and a memory operatively coupled with the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to control the electronic device to: establish a short-range communication connection between the electronic device and an external electronic device through the first wireless communication circuit, acquire subscription information of a first profile stored in a first Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) of the external electronic device from the external electronic device through the first wireless communication circuit, transmit at least part of the subscription. information to a first server through the second wireless communication circuit, acquire authentication information provided by the first server from the external electronic device through the first wireless communication circuit, transmit the authentication information to the first server through the second wireless communication circuit, acquire a second profile from a second server associated with the first server through the second wireless communication circuit based on transmitting the authentication information to the first server, and store the second profile to a second SIM of the electronic device.
