Abstract
A first device stores a subscription manager and at least two subscriptions. A first subscription is active and a second subscription is non-active. A second device sends a request for switching to the second subscription. The subscription manager sets a first variable relating to a next active subscription to the second subscription. The subscription manager sends to the first device a message requesting the first device to re-launch an execution of the subscription manager and to read data. The first device sends to the subscription manager a message including a command for re-launching an execution of the subscription manager. The subscription manager de-activates, based upon the first variable value, the first subscription. The subscription manager activates, based upon the first variable value, the second subscription, and sends to the first device operating system data relating to the second subscription, as a current active subscription.
