Method for installing subscriber profile and electronic device therefor

An electronic device comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• a display;
• communication circuitry;
• and
• at least one processor configured to be operatively connected with the memory, the display, and the communication circuitry, wherein the electronic device is configured to execute the stored instructions to:
• detect an event for setting up an eSIM;
• in response to detecting the event, control the communication circuitry to receive network operator-related information associated with the eSIM from at least one server;
• determine whether the setting up the eSIM for providing a wireless network service is available by comparing the received network operator-related information with a first information stored in the memory, wherein the network operator-related information includes identification information for identifying a specific operator;
• in response to determining that the setting up the eSIM for providing the wireless network service is available:
• control the communication circuitry to receive an eSIM profile from the at least one server, and
• activate the eSIM by receiving the eSIM profile;
• and
• in response to determining that the setting up the eSIM is unavailable
• display a warning message indicating a consequence of downloading the eSIM;
• and
• download the eSIM profile or terminate the setting up the eSIM, without receiving the eSIM profile based on an user input in response to the warning message.

An operating method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• detecting an event for setting up an eSIM;
• in response to detecting the event, controlling communication circuitry to receive network operator-related information associated with the eSIM from at least one server;
• determining whether the setting up the eSIM is for providing a wireless network service available based on the received network operator-related information, wherein the network operator-related information includes identification information for identifying a specific operator;
• in response to determining that the setting up the eSIM for providing the wireless network service is available:
• controlling the communication circuitry to receive an eSIM profile from the at least one server;
• and
• activating the eSIM by receiving an eSIM profile;
• and
• in response to determining that the setting up the eSIM for providing the wireless network service is unavailable
• displaying a warning message indicating a consequence of downloading the eSIM;
• and
• download the eSIM profile or terminate the setting up the eSIM based on an user input in response to the warning message.
