Abstract

The invention relates to a node for managing network connectivity of a device comprising an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC). The node is configured to provision the eUICC for network connectivity of the device. The method comprises acquiring an identity of at least one Subscription Manager-Data Preparation (SM-DP) entity, acquiring an identity of at least one Subscription Manager-Secure Router (SM-SR) entity, creating an association between the identity of the at least one SM-DP entity, the identity of the at least one SM-SR entity and an identity of the eUICC, and storing the created association, wherein the stored association subsequently can be changed for the eUICC by changing at least one of the identity of the at least one SM-DP entity and the identity of the at least one SM-SR entity with which the eUICC is to be associated.
