Abstract

See full text

A provisioning server may select a new service provider to provide network connectivity to a network-enabled device in response to a determination that the device has moved to a new region that is different than a home region. The provisioning server may automatically determine whether to cause the device to switch service providers with little or no input by a user or an administrator of the device. The provisioning server may select a new service provider from various available service providers based at least partly on a profile associated with the device. A provisioning server may enable access by the device to the selected service provider by causing an update to an embedded SIM of the device. In this way, the provisioning server may update connectivity of the device to a new service provider with little or no human input, thereby simplifying management of the device.
