Abstract:
Representative embodiments enable a software application to access wireless services provided by a mobile network operator (MNO). According to some embodiments, a method can be implemented at a mobile device, and include (1) receiving, from a software application management entity, an installation package that includes: (i) first information for installing a software application, and (ii) second information for an electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) to be utilized by the software application to access the wireless services provided by the MNO, (2) utilizing the first information to install the software application on the mobile device, and (3) in response to receiving a request to launch the software application, causing the software application to execute on the mobile device, where: (i) the software application utilizes the eSIM to access wireless services provided by the MNO, and (ii) the wireless services are restricted in accordance with parameters associated with the eSIM.
