    transmitting a message concerning a lack of the program detected in the terminal device through a telecommunications network to a server managing the changes of the use profile of terminal devices;

    transmitting at least one program according to the another use profile of said terminal device, found to be lacking in the terminal device, as an over-the-air (OTA) message to said terminal device; and

    installing the program received as an OTA message to a memory of the terminal device for making it possible to take the another use profile into use.
