FIELD: physics, computer engineering.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to devices and a method of initialising wireless devices for operation on one or more networks. A provisioning SIM profile is preloaded into the device. The device uses the provisioning SIM profile to communicate with a provisioning service, which may present the user with a list of available wireless providers, such as providers providing service in the current geographic location of the user. In response to a user selection, the provisioning service may load a SIM profile associated with the selected provider onto a secure element. The loaded SIM profile can be used to obtain wireless service from the selected provider.
EFFECT: enabling selection of a suitable wireless service provider based on user selection.
