Method and apparatus for installing and managing profile using message service

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system witha technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure discloses a terminal including a transmission and reception unit and at least one processor. The at least one processor controls the transmission and reception unit so that the transmission and reception unit receives a message such as an SMS, an MMS, or anOTT including event download information from a communication operator server, searches for event download information from the received message such as the SMS, the MMS, or the OTT, transmits the event download information to another terminal if necessary, and receives an event from a profile server with reference to the event download information.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, when providing mobile communication terminal users with services from other mobile communication operators, the SIM card brings inconvenience to mobile communication terminal users

Mobile communication terminal users are inconvenient since they need to physically acquire a SIM card provided by a mobile communication operator in order to receive services from a mobile communication operator

For example, when a user travels abroad, the user must purchase a local SIM card in order to receive local mobile communication services, which brings inconvenience to the user

Roaming services can reduce inconvenience to some extent, but there is a problem that users need to pay high fees for roaming services and cannot receive said services without establishing a contract between mobile communication carriers
