  • Patent number: 9998920
    Abstract: A method is provided for activating a subscription on a security element which is part of a mobile end device, and is insertable or permanently installed therein. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a request from the security element by a mobile radio system to communicate over a mobile radio network of the mobile radio system; establishing the position of the mobile end device; and checking by the mobile radio system whether the established position of the mobile end device falls within a predefined range of allowed positions, wherein the subscription on the security element is activated and thereby the security element enabled to communicate over the mobile radio network if the established position of the mobile end device falls within the predefined range of allowed positions.

  • Patent number: 9820151
    Abstract: A method comprises the following steps: supplying the subscription on the security element of the user's mobile end device, with the subscription being held available on a background system by a service or product provider as one subscription of a plurality of subscriptions and enabling communication over a mobile radio network; and accessing the mobile radio network by the security element by means of the subscription supplied on the security element. While the security element accessing the mobile radio network the position of the mobile end device is determined at time intervals in order to check whether the position of the mobile end device falls within a predefined range of allowed positions and, if the established position of the mobile end device does not fall within the predefined range of allowed positions, the access of the security element to the mobile radio network is interrupted.
