Abstract
A request from a mobile operator network (MNO) is received at a Subscription Manager Secure Routing (SM-SR) associated with the MNO. The request is for deleting an embedded Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) profile from an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) of a machine-to-machine (M2M) device. The eSIM profile is provided by a Subscription Manager Data Preparation (SM-DP) of a third-party partner of the MNO. A command is sent from the SM-SR to an application on the M2M device to delete the eSIM profile from the eUICC of the M2M device. An indication is then received from the application by the SM-SR indicating that the eSIM profile has been deleted. Accordingly, the SM-SR associated with the MNO may send a notification to the SM-DP of the third-party partner indicating that the eSIM profile has been deleted from the eUICC of the M2M device.
