Abstract:
Systems and methods for remote SIM unlocking are disclosed. The systems and methods can include detecting that a user equipment is eligible to be unlocked. The unlocking of the user equipment may allow the use of the user equipment on another cellular network. An enterprise unlock server verifies eligibility with a policy engine, and if eligible, sends a push command to the user equipment to execute the unlock process. The user equipment, upon receipt of the command, initiates the unlock process. In some examples, the user equipment can prompt the enterprise unlock server to check if the user equipment is eligible.
