Abstract: A method and apparatus for sending subscriber identifiers are disclosed. The method includes: receiving information of a USIM card from a UICC in a cloud card pool over a first communication connection; receiving an identity request from a 5G SA network, wherein the identity request is for requesting acquiring a SUCI; acquiring the SUCI based on the identity request and the information of the USIM card; and sending the SUCI to the 5G SA network, wherein the SUCI is for establishing a second communication connection. The SUCI may be generated at the ME or at the UICC. The first communication connection may be a roaming communication connection and the second communication connection may be a non-roaming communication connection.

Abstract: Present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for establishing communication connections. The method includes: in response to a failure of a SIM card, acquiring first KI card information, establishing a first communication connection to a cloud SIM card management platform based on the first KI card information; acquiring cloud SIM card information from the cloud SIM card management platform over the first communication connection; and establishing a second communication connection based on the cloud SIM card information. In the case that the multi-SIM terminal device establishes the second communication connection based on the cloud SIM card information, the first communication connection may be disconnected, and the KI card information may be released. With the solutions, a success rate of establishing the first communication connection may be ensured on the premise of saving fees for users.
