Abstract

A platform included in a device can be configured to execute instructions to operate the device. The platform can be configured to setup connectivity to a network provided by a data service provider by having an activated account with the data service provider. To activate the account, the platform can be configured to determine that subscription information requested by the data service provider is included in an existing profile associated with the device. Responsive to the determination the subscription information is included in the profile, the platform can be configured to provide information from the profile as the subscription information to activate the account with the data service provider and receive subscriber-level connectivity to the network.
