Abstract
A method and apparatus of selecting profiles is provided that provides communication services of a terminal equipped with embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) (or embedded Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM)) and Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC). The method of selecting a profile in a terminal including a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs) that differ from each other in type, includes selecting, when sensing a profile changing event, one of the plurality of SIMs according to a preset rule, selecting one of a plurality of profiles stored in the plurality of SIMs, and applying the selected profile to the terminal.
Claims20
A method of a terminal n a wireless communication system, wherein the terminal is capable of connecting with a first universal integrated circuit card (UICC) and includes a second UICC, the method comprising:
- receiving a first user input while the terminal being connected with the first UICC and the second UICC being installed with at least one plan;
- displaying a plan list based on the first user input, the plan list including a first plan corresponding to the first UICC and at least one second plan corresponding to the second UICC;
- identifying a plan from the plan list based on a second user input for selecting the plan;
- and
- applying the plan to the terminal.
A terminal in a wireless communication system, wherein the terminal is capable of connecting with a first universal integrated circuit card (UICC) and includes a second UICC, the terminal comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory;
- and
- a controller coupled with the transceiver and the memory and configured to:
- receive a first user input while the terminal being connected with the first UICC and the second UICC being installed with at least one plan,
- display a plan list based on the first user input, the plan list including a first plan corresponding to the first UICC and at least one second plan corresponding to the second UICC,
- identify a plan from the plan list based on a second user input for selecting the plan, and
