More Information
Summary:A method is provided for self-provisioning and personalization of a companion device. A primary user device receives, via an activation application for cellular service activation of a companion device, user input to initiate a cellular service activation process for the companion device. The primary user device establishes a local network connection with the companion device and receives from the companion device an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) identifier. The primary user device forwards, to a network device in a service provider network, the eUICC identifier along with an identifier for the primary user device. The primary user device receives, from the network device, an activation code for the eUICC and forwards to the companion device the activation code. The activation code automatically causes the companion device to initiate a profile download request for an eUICC to be included with a new line of service under a subscriber account associated with the primary user device.
