Abstract

An information verification method and a related device. The method includes: receiving, by a first profile server, a remote profile management request sent by a remote profile management server, where the remote profile management request includes a first profile owner identifier; obtaining a second profile owner identifier in profile information; determining whether the first profile owner identifier is the same as the second profile owner identifier; and sending a remote profile management command to user equipment when the first profile owner identifier is the same as the second profile owner identifier. In this way, a loss caused to an operator or a profile owner due to a user's access to an invalid network or random profile unlocking is avoided, network security is improved, and waste of network resources is reduced.
