Abstract
In a management method and a management server for using a plurality of SIM cards, a large number of users can start use easily. First, an MVNO 230A that has obtained one or more SIM cards logs in to a management screen provided by an MVNE 210 in association with a user ID of the MVNO 230A. From the standpoint of the MVNE 210, it is determined whether a user ID of a user who has accessed a management screen of a management server of the MVNE 210 is under MVNO contract (S301). When the user ID is under MVNO contract, an identification number given to each SIM card and a passcode for authentication given as needed are received as registration information (S302). If the management server of the MVNE 210 can receive necessary registration information, each SIM card of which an identification number is specified by the registration information is associated with the user ID as an SIM card used by the MVNO 230A and the association is registered in the management server of the MVNE 210 or a database 211 accessible therefrom (S303).
