Abstract
A control method and associated devices in an embedded subscriber identity module (eUICC1) co-operating with a terminal (T) includes operations for: receiving identifiers (ID) of services associated with a communications profile (P) to be executed when the profile is in the active state; determining whether each service (S) is supported by an operating system (OS1) of the embedded subscriber identity module (eUICC1), and if not, sending a request to update the operating system (OS1); installing the update enabling the operating system to run the communications profile (P); and sending a request to receive or to continue receiving the communications profile (P) for installing in the embedded subscriber identity module (eUICC1). Also described is a control method performed by a profile provisioning server for supplying the embedded subscriber identity module (eUICC1) with the service identifiers.
