Abstract
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide storing multiple subscription profiles on a secure element; detecting a triggering event; using, by a first stack of a wireless end device, one of the subscription profiles to register with a first network service via a first network; indicating that the one of the subscription profiles is enabled; querying, by a second stack of the wireless end device, the secure element for another one of the subscription profiles; obtaining, by the second stack, access information to the other one of the subscription profiles; selecting, by the second stack, the other one of the subscription profiles; using, by the second stack, the other one of the subscription profiles to register with a second network service via a second network; and indicating that the other one of the subscription profiles is enabled.
