Abstract
Techniques for use in remotely provisioning a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) of a mobile device for an enterprise are described. In one illustrative example, at an enterprise server, a message is received from the mobile device or an operator in communication with the mobile device. In response, one or more enterprise service plan options are selected from a plurality of service plan options in a database (DB) and sent to the mobile device or the operator. One of the enterprise service plan options is selected for use in preparing a profile to be remotely provisioned on the SIM. The one or more enterprise service plan options may be selected based on one or more characteristics of a member of the enterprise and/or the member's association or relationship with the enterprise, and/or other characteristics indicative of intended contextual use (e.g. location or geography indicator, language indicator, device capability indicator such as for voice and/data communication capabilities), etc.).
