The disclosure relates to the notification of an SM-SR subscription management server by an eUICC card or an eSE element. The card includes, in local memory, at least one short number (or “short code”), and more generally an address identifier, unique to a mobile-phone operator, wherein the number is associated with an operator subscriber profile within the secure card. The card is configured to retrieve, from the local memory, a short code associated with a subscriber profile in use to send, using the retrieved short code, a card status notification to the SM-SR server. In the absence of a short code, the card uses a unique international telephone number as the recipient of the notification.
