Systems and Methods for Multi-Device Wireless SIM Management
First Claim
1. A system of remote management of a persona on a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card, comprising:
- a Multi-SIM/Multi-Device (MS/MD) management server;
a user device in communication with the SIM card and the MS/MD management server; and
a virtual SIM database storing a plurality of personas associated with the user device,wherein, upon an event, the MS/MD management server sends a selected persona from the plurality of personas from the virtual SIM database and transmits the selected persona to the user device, which loads the selected persona to the SIM card.

Abstract
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for automated multi-device, multi-persona wireless SIM management. A virtual SIM database associated with a user is maintained on the mobile service provider'"'"'s network. Such a virtual SIM database contains multiple personas for that user. For each of the user devices they wish to use on the mobile service network, the user is furnished with one “stub” SIM to be installed on the user device, onto which may be loaded any one of the personas maintained by the virtual SIM database. Upon an event, a selected user device downloads a selected persona from the network and loads it onto its stub SIM, so that the selected device is now registered on the network with that persona.
