Abstract

A method for providing a secure element having a processor and a memory of a mobile terminal with a target subscription profile for communicating via a target mobile network comprises the steps of: providing as a first part of the target subscription profile a subscription management interface to the secure element; implementing the subscription management interface on the secure element; and providing as a second part of the target subscription profile subscription data in a format defined by the operator of the target mobile network to the secure element, wherein the subscription management interface allows the secure element to process the subscription data and to implement the target subscription profile thereon for allowing access to the target mobile network. A corresponding secure element, mobile terminal and subscription management backend system includes features associated with the method.
