  • Patent number: 11991525
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides systems and methods for dynamically locking and unlocking wireless communication devices by enforcing updateable subscriber identity module (SIM) and public land mobile network (PLMN) policy information. A device receives policy information from a policy server, compares the policy information against information in the SIM and dynamically updates a lock state of the device based on the policy information, potentially overriding a factory lock state of the device. The policy information can include a whitelist indicating the SIMs that the device can accept. The device can also obtain and apply branding information when the SIM information matches the received policy information, and block access to certain device functionality when the SIM information does not match the policy information.
