Abstract

A method of obtaining a virtual SIM for a mobile device comprises sending, to a TTA for authentication, a request for a virtual SIM for a mobile device associated with the TTA. The authenticated request is sent from the mobile device to an NRS application (or to a combined NRS/PCSS application). The mobile device subsequently receives information identifying a PCSS application (or a combined NRS/PCSS application) in a computing environment that provides a virtual SIM for the mobile device.
