a computer connected to said customer service representative terminal;

at least one interface also connected to said computer; said at least one interface for connecting said computer to at least two disparate network elements; each of said network elements having a common function; each of said elements for storing respective portions of said subscriber profile data; each of said elements configured to store said subscriber profile data in disparate formats; and,

said computer configured to implement a computer program responsive to said input, said computer program for collecting, routing and formatting data exchanges between said terminal and said network elements; said computer program configured such that said subscriber profile data is presented in a common format at said terminal while respective portions of said subscriber profile data are stored in disparate formats respective to each said network element.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein said elements are home location registers.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein said elements are application location registers.

4. The system of claim 1 further comprising a rule database connected to said computer for identifying formatting respective to said elements and said interface terminal.

5. The system of claim 1 further comprising a transaction database connected to said computer for maintaining a log of transaction records of each collecting, routing and formatting operation performed by said computer program.

6. The system of claim 5 wherein said each of said records includes a unique transaction ID.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein said input includes queries to retrieve at least one of said records based on said Transaction ID.

8. The system of claim 1 further comprising a secure repository database connected to said computer for maintaining information objects associated with a plurality of subscribers.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein said information objects include SIM information.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein said SIM information includes at least one IMSI, ICCID, KI and the DES encryption key identifier.

11. The system of claim 8 wherein said information objects include subscriber preferences; subscriber payment information; parametric attributes associated with subscriber services; parametric attributes associated with a subscriber's mobile devise(s);

application level data associated with a subscriber's service; alternate aliases associated with a given subscriber.

12. The system of claim 8 further comprising at least one additional interface for performing at least one of a retrieval, a storage or a modification of said information objects.

13. The system of claim 8 further comparing an interface for accessing said information objects.

14. The system of claim 1 wherein said terminal utilizes a web-based graphical user interface.

15. The system of claim 1 wherein said elements are provided by different vendors.

16. A computer for use in a telecommunications subscriber profile management system; said system including a customer service representative (“CSR”) terminal; said terminal configured to present subscriber profile data in a common user interface format; said terminal further configured to receive an input in a common format; said input representing commands for management of said subscriber pro file data; said system including a plurality of disparate network element; each of said elements for storing respective portions of said subscriber profile data; each of said elements configured to store said subscriber profile data in disparate formats; said computer comprising:

means for connection to said customer service representative terminal;

means for interfacing with at least two disparate network elements; each of said network elements having a common function;

means to implement a computer program responsive to said input; said computer program for collecting, routing and formatting data exchanges between said terminal and said network elements; said computer program configured such that said subscriber profile data is presented in a common format at said terminal while respective portions of said subscriber profile data are stored in disparate formats respective to each said network element.

17. A computer readable medium for storing a computer program product; said computer program product executable an a computer for use in a telecommunications subscriber profile management system; said system including a customer service representative (“CSR”) terminal; said terminal configured to present subscriber profile data in a common user interface format; said terminal further configured to receive an input in a common format; said input representing commands for management of said subscriber profile data; said system including at least two disparate network elements; each of said network elements having a common function; each of said elements for storing respective portions of said subscriber profile data; each of said elements configured to store said subscriber profile data in disparate formats; said computer program product rendering said computer operable to:

connect to said customer service representative terminal;

interface with each of said disparate network elements; and,
