A mobile wireless device configured for cellular service profile management, the mobile wireless device comprising:
- wireless circuitry comprising one or more antennas;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the wireless circuitry and to a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile wireless device to:
- install, at the mobile wireless device, a cellular service profile transferred from a second mobile wireless device;
- upload, to a cloud service server, first information to remove an entry corresponding to a combination of the mobile wireless device and the cellular service profile from a blacklist of inactive cellular service profiles;
- and
- upload, to the cloud service server, second information to add an entry corresponding to a combination of the second mobile wireless device and the cellular service profile to the blacklist.
A method for cellular service profile management, the method comprising:
- by a mobile wireless device:
- installing, at the mobile wireless device, a cellular service profile transferred from a second mobile wireless device;
- uploading, to a cloud service server, first information to remove an entry corresponding to a combination of the mobile wireless device and the cellular service profile from a blacklist of inactive cellular service profiles;
- and
- uploading, to the cloud service server, second information to add an entry corresponding to a combination of the second mobile wireless device and the cellular service profile to the blacklist.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile wireless device, configure the mobile wireless device to:
- install, at the mobile wireless device, a cellular service profile transferred from a second mobile wireless device;
- upload, to a cloud service server, first information to remove an entry corresponding to a combination of the mobile wireless device and the cellular service profile from a blacklist of inactive cellular service profiles;
- and
- upload, to the cloud service server, second information to add an entry corresponding to a combination of the second mobile wireless device and the cellular service profile to the blacklist.
