Abstract

A method for loading a profile for a mobile radio subscription from a data preparation server into a subscriber identity module, comprises the steps: (a) providing a profile at the data preparation server; (b) generating a single executable program code module of the profile provided according to (a), which program code module is arranged such that by executing the executable program code module the profile is installed in the subscriber identity module; (c′) loading the single executable program code module into the subscriber identity module. A method for installing a profile in the subscriber identity module, comprises the steps: (d) sending an APDU command from the data preparation server to the subscriber identity module; (e) in reaction to a reception of the APDU command at the subscriber identity module, executing the executable program code module and by executing installing the profile in the subscriber identity module.

Claims (14)

1. A method for loading a profile for a mobile radio subscription from a data preparation server into a subscriber identity module, comprising the steps:

a) providing a profile at the data preparation server;

c) loading the profile into the subscriber identity module;

wherein the steps:

b) generating a single executable program code module of the profile provided according to a), which program code module is arranged such that by executing the executable program code module the profile is installed in the subscriber identity module;

c′) performing the step c) by loading the single executable program code module into the subscriber identity module;

d) sending an application protocol data unit (APDU) command from the data preparation server to the subscriber identity module; and

e) in reaction to a reception of the APDU command at the subscriber identity module, executing the executable program code module and by executing installing the profile in the subscriber identity module.

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the executable program code module is configured as an application program.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the executable program code module is configured as a memory image of the profile or as a combination of a program code which is independent of the profile and installed on the subscriber identity module with a memory image of the profile.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein c′) comprises the following substeps:

c′1) loading the executable program code module from the data preparation server into a secure router;

c′2) loading the executable program code module from the secure router into the subscriber identity module.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein step a) is configured: a) providing the profile from a network operator server to the data preparation server.
