An authorized user of a mobile communications unit for goods and/or services by transmitting a user-related parameter set to a mobile phone provider. The mobile phone provider then forwards a request to a payment service provider, which generates a virtual payment card/token and forwards it to the mobile phone provider. The mobile phone provider couples the virtual payment card/token to the SIM/eSIM. The mobile communications unit is integrated in a vehicle and the user-related parameter set is determined by an external server and is transmitted to the mobile phone provider. A user-specific, vehicle-related parameter set is determined by the external server and transmitted to the mobile phone provider. When paying for goods and/or services, the user is authenticated by comparing parameter sets coupled to the SIM/eSIM to the corresponding parameter sets saved with the mobile phone provider and/or on the external server.
