A user equipment (UE) device, comprising:

• a chipset configured to store a subscriber identification profile and a default network access key;
• at least one memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

• obtain, by a user equipment (UE) device, a first authorization from a network based on a default network access key, wherein the first authorization allows restricted access of the UE device through a dedicated access point name (APN) associated with the default network access key;
• receive, at the UE device, a subscriber identification profile from a subscription management system associated with the dedicated APN;
• and
• obtain, by the UE device, a second authorization from the network based on the received subscriber identification profile, wherein the the second authorization provides unrestricted APN connectivity and access to services associated with the subscriber identification profile.
