Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a first bootstrap profile on a first communication device, and detecting a second bootstrap profile on a second communication device. Further aspects can include determining the first bootstrap profile and the second bootstrap profile are a same bootstrap profile, and providing limited services to the second communication device according to the first communication device and the second communication device having the same bootstrap profile. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- in response to determining a termination of first subscription services for a first communication device:
- detecting a second communication device;
- detecting a first bootstrap profile on the first communication device;
- detecting a second bootstrap profile on the second communication device;
- determining the first bootstrap profile and the second bootstrap profile are a same bootstrap profile;
- and
- providing limited services to the second communication device according to the first communication device and the second communication device having the same bootstrap profile.
A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- in response to determining a termination of first subscription services for a first communication device:
- detecting a second communication device;
- detecting a first bootstrap profile on the first communication device;
- detecting a second bootstrap profile on the second communication device;
- determining the first bootstrap profile and the second bootstrap profile are a same bootstrap profile;
- and
- providing limited services to the second communication device according to the first communication device and the second communication device having the same bootstrap profile.
A method, comprising:
- in response to determining, by a processing system including a processor, a termination of subscription service for a first communication device:
- detecting, by the processing system, a second communication device;
- detecting, by the processing system, a first bootstrap profile on the first communication device;
- detecting, by the processing system, a second bootstrap profile on the second communication device;
- determining, by the processing system, the first bootstrap profile and the second bootstrap profile are a same bootstrap profile;
- and
- providing, by the processing system, limited services to the second communication device according to the first communication device and the second communication device having the same bootstrap profile;
- detecting, by the processing system, a first operational profile for the second communication device;
- and
- providing, by the processing system, the subscription services to the second communication device according to the first operational profile.
