Abstract

Subscription profile data is managed. The subscription profile data is associated with a communications service. A user interface is sent to a hosting client for a user to obtain access to and make changes to subscription profile data. A request to retrieve the subscription profile data is received from the client. The subscription profile data is retrieved from within a communications network in response to the request to retrieve the subscription profile data. A request to update the subscription profile data is received. An update for the subscription profile data is forwarded so that the communications service is implemented in the communications network in accordance with the update.
