Abstract
A data processing device including a microcontroller and configured to communicate with at least one remote system distributed on a network. The data processing device and the remote system are adapted to store a plurality of parameters identifying a user account belonging to a subscriber. The data processing device comprises a one-time parameter comprising the active account attached to the device designed for a one-time use, and a permanent parameter identifying an account attached to the data processing device, the permanent parameter being deactivated. The one-time and permanent parameter are stored in the at least one remote system, and the microcontroller is programmed to: use the one-time parameter to logon to the network when the data processing device is switched on; and exchanges the one-time parameter with the permanent parameter, upon successful logon to the network, the permanent parameter becoming the permanent active account. The first device and the at least one remote system store a parameter identifying a current active account attached to a second data processing device to replace, and upon successful logon to the network, a program automatically stored in the first device sends an activation request for exchanging the plurality of parameters from the old for the new one in the at least one remote system, with the current active account being deactivated.

8. A subscriber identifying module including a microcontroller in a mobile telecommunication network which is configured to communicate with at least one remote system in the network, said subscriber identifying module and said remote system being adapted to store at least one parameter identifying a user in the network, said subscriber identifying module comprising:
-
a one-time account identifier designed for a one-time logon to the network, a permanent account identifier, said permanent account identifier being deactivated, characterised in that said one-time and permanent account identifier are prestored in said at least one remote system, and said microcontroller is programmed to;
a) use the one-time account identifier to logon to the network when said subscriber identifying module is switched on;
b) exchange the one-time account identifier with the permanent account identifier in the subscriber identifying module upon successful logon to the network as the active account identifier in the data processing device, c) upon successful logon to the network, send an activation request for deactivating in the remote system an account identifier attached to a second subscriber identifying module and activating the permanent account identifier attached to the first data processing device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A remote telecommunication system in a mobile telecommunication network, said network system being able to communicate with a subscriber identifying module said network system storing:
-
a one-time account identifier for a one-time logon of a subscriber identifying module to the network a permanent account identifier attached to an original data processing device, the network system storing a set of instructions for accepting logon of a replacement subscriber identifying module in the network and treating an activation request from the replacement subscriber identifying module by the following operations;
deactivating the account identifier attached to the original subscriber identifying module and, activating the account identifier attached to the replacement data processing device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for activating a subscriber identifying module in a telecommunication network, said method comprising the step of providing a first subscriber identifying module which stores a one-time account identifier designed for a one-time logon to the network and which also stores a permanent account identifier, said permanent account identifier being deactivated, said subscriber identifying module being programmed to, upon successful one-time logon to the network, exchange the one-time account identifier with the permanent account identifier in said first subscriber identifying module and send an activation request to a remote network system for activating said permanent account identifier attached said first data processing device, said method comprising the step of providing a remote network system which stores an active account identifier attached to a second subscriber identifying module, said remote network system being programmed for treating the activation request originating from the first subscriber identifying module by the operations which include deactivating the account identifier attached to the second original subscriber identifying module and activating the account identifier attached to the first subscriber identifying module.

21. A data processing device including a microcontroller and configured to communicate with at least one remote system distributed on a network, said data processing device and said remote system adapted to store a plurality of parameters identifying a user account belonging to a subscriber, said data processing device comprising:
-
a one-time parameter comprising the active account attached to said device designed for a one-time use, a permanent parameter identifying an account attached to said data processing device, said permanent parameter being deactivated, wherein said one-time and permanent parameter are stored in said at least one remote system, and said microcontroller is programmed to;
d) using the one-time parameter to logon to the network when said data processing device is switched on;
e) exchanging the one-time parameter with the permanent parameter, upon successful logon to the network, said permanent parameter becoming the permanent active account, wherein said first device and said at least one remote system store a parameter identifying a current active account attached to a second data processing device to replace, and upon successful logon to the network, a program automatically stored in said first device sends an activation request for exchanging the plurality of parameters from the old for the new one in said at least one remote system, with the current active account being deactivated. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
