Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to electronic devices and, more particularly, to techniques and apparatus for temporarily transferring subscriber identity module (SIM) profiles. One example method generally includes: receiving, from a first user equipment (UE), a request to obtain a SIM profile associated with a second UE, the first UE being different than the second UE; transmitting a first message including the SIM profile associated with the second UE in response to the request; and communicating with the first UE using the SIM profile.

Abstract: Methods for automated profile selection on a carrier-locked computing device may include detecting carrier profiles stored on an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) and enabling use of the computing device with a carrier profile that satisfies a carrier personalization policy in response to identifying an active carrier profile that violates a carrier personalization policy. The methods may enable use by automatically deactivating any active carrier profile that violates the carrier personalization policy and automatically activating an inactive carrier profile that satisfies the carrier personalization policy.

Abstract: Methods for obtaining network services on a mobile communication device may include attaching the mobile communication device to a first network associated with a first subscription supported by a first profile stored on an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) on the mobile communication device, caching, in memory on the mobile communication device, the first profile corresponding to the first subscription, deactivating the first subscription of the eUICC on the mobile communication device without detaching from the first network, caching, in memory on the mobile communication device, a second profile stored on the eUICC corresponding to a second subscription, activating the first subscription of the eUICC, and monitoring for paging indicators directed to the second subscription utilizing the cached second profile.
