3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the subscription address is a Mobile Station ISDN.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the subscription address is an International Mobile Subscriber Identity.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the subscription address is a SIP-URI.

6. An eUICC configured to be embedded in a communication device and comprising at least a security domain and an application belonging to this security domain, said security domain and application being respectively called transversal security domain and transversal application, the eUICC being further configured for a service provider to launch remotely a targeted service implemented by the transversal application, the eUICC comprising a set of at least one profile allowing the communication device to access to a specific mobile network infrastructure, one profile being activated at a time, the eUICC being further configured to:

receive from an SM-SR server on a communication interface a profile enable command for enabling a profile, said profile enable command comprising an identifier of the transversal security domain;

interpret, in response to the profile enable command comprising the identifier of the transversal security domain, the profile enable command as a command for transmitting a subscription address associated to the profile which is activated in the eUICC;

send to a server operated by the service provider controlling the target traversal application an SMS message comprising a subscription address associated to the activated profile;

establish a communication channel with the server operated by the service provider controlling the target traversal application, the establishment being initiated by the server operated by the service provider using the subscription address transmitted by SMS;

receive by the eUICC on said communication channel a command for launching the targeted service;

launch the targeted service.

7. The eUICC according to claim 6 , further configured to send an ES5 failure notification to the server operated by the service provider controlling the target traversal application after having interpreted the command for enabling a profile as a command for transmitting a subscription address associated to the active profile in the eUICC.

8. The eUICC according to claim 6 , wherein the subscription address is a Mobile Station ISDN (MSISDN).

9. The eUICC according to claim 6 , wherein the subscription address is an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI).

10. The eUICC according to claim 6 , wherein the subscription address is a SIP-URI.

11. A data processing system comprising means for carrying out the steps of a method for a service provider to launch a targeted service implemented by an application belonging to a security domain of an eUICC embedded into a communication device, said security domain and application being respectively called transversal security domain and transversal application, the eUICC comprising a set of at least one profile allowing the communication device to access to a specific mobile network infrastructure, one profile being activated at a time, the method having the steps:

receiving, by the eUICC from an SM-SR server on a communication interface, a profile enable command for enabling a profile, said profile enable command comprising an identifier of the transversal security domain;

interpreting by the eUICC, in response to the profile enable command comprising the identifier of the transversal security domain, the profile enable command as a command for transmitting a subscription address associated to the active profile in the eUICC;

sending by the eUICC to a server operated by the service provider controlling the target traversal application an SMS message comprising a subscription address associated to the activated profile;

establishing a communication channel between the server operated by the service provider controlling the target traversal application and the eUICC, the establishment of the communication channel being initiated by the server operated by the service provider using the subscription address transmitted by the eUICC in the SMS;

receiving by the eUICC from the service provider controlling the target traversal application on said communication channel a command for launching the targeted service of the traversal application; and

launching by the eUICC the targeted service of the traversal application.

12. A non-transient computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out the steps of the method for a service provider to launch a targeted service implemented by an application belonging to a security domain of an eUICC embedded into a communication device, said security domain and application being respectively called transversal security domain and transversal application, the eUICC comprising a set of at least one profile allowing the communication device to access to a specific mobile network infrastructure, one profile being activated at a time, the method comprising:

receiving, by the eUICC from an SM-SR server on a communication interface, a profile enable command for enabling a profile, said profile enable command comprising an identifier of the transversal security domain;

interpreting by the eUICC, in response to the profile enable command comprising the identifier of the transversal security domain, the profile enable command as a command for transmitting a subscription address associated to the active profile in the eUICC;

sending by the eUICC to a server operated by the service provider controlling the target traversal application an SMS message comprising a subscription address associated to the activated profile;

establishing a communication channel between the server operated by the service provider controlling the target traversal application and the eUICC, the establishment of the communication channel being initiated by the server operated by the service provider using the subscription address transmitted by the eUICC in the SMS;

receiving by the eUICC from the service provider controlling the target traversal application on said communication channel a command for launching the targeted service of the traversal application; and
