Abstract

A method is provided of installing a subscription profile, taken out with an operator of a mobile telecommunications network, on a mobile communication terminal containing an embedded module for subscriber identification. This method can include sending a domain name resolution request to a domain name server, this request including an identifier of a network server, and receiving, in response to this request, a response message containing a network address of the network server allowing the triggering of the loading of the profile. The subscription profile can then be loaded into the embedded module from a supply server of the network. A mobile terminal, a supply server and a domain name server can be configured to implement this method.
