1. A method, implemented by a user device, comprising:
- detecting a first wireless network at a current location of the user device;
obtaining a current subscriber identity module (SIM) profile that corresponds to the first wireless network, wherein the current SIM profile is requested from a server over a second wireless network to be stored in a non-volatile memory of a modem of the user device and not on a SIM; and
reprogramming the modem by updating the non-volatile memory with the current SIM profile.
