Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to electronic devices and, more particularly, to techniques and apparatus for temporarily transferring subscriber identity module (SIM) profiles. One example method generally includes: receiving, from a first user equipment (UE), a request to obtain a SIM profile associated with a second UE, the first UE being different than the second UE; transmitting a first message including the SIM profile associated with the second UE in response to the request; and communicating with the first UE using the SIM profile.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, from a first user equipment (UE), a request to obtain a subscriber identity module (SIM) profile associated with a second UE, the first UE being different than the second UE;
- transmitting a first message including the SIM profile associated with the second UE in response to the request and based on the second UE being turned off;
- and
- communicating with the first UE using the SIM profile.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting, from a first user equipment (UE) and to a network, a request to obtain a subscriber identity module (SIM) profile associated with a second UE, the first UE being different than the second UE;
- receiving a first message including the SIM profile associated with the second UE in response to transmitting the request and based on the second UE being turned off;
- and
- communicating with the network using the SIM profile.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
- cause receiving, from a first user equipment (UE), a request to obtain a subscriber identity module (SIM) profile associated with a second UE, the first UE being different than the second UE;
- cause transmitting a first message including the SIM profile associated with the second UE in response to the request and based on the second UE being turned off;
- and
- cause communicating with the first UE using the SIM profile.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one memory;
- an
- one or more processors coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
- cause transmitting, to a network, a request to obtain a subscriber identity module (SIM) profile associated with a second UE, the first UE being different than the second UE;
- cause receiving a first message including the SIM profile associated with the second UE in response to transmitting the request and based on the second UE being turned off;
- and
- cause communicating with the network using the SIM profile.
