1. A method for managing device profiles, the method comprising:
- adding at least one alternative primary profile to a memory module at an alternative address different from a main address of a main primary profile, wherein the main primary profile comprises a main device identifier and a main authentication key, and wherein the alternative primary profile comprises an alternative device identifier and an alternative authentication key; and
modifying a pointer that points to an address in the memory module from which a profile is retrieved such that the pointer points to the alternative address.

17. A method for creating and installing an alternative primary profile on a device, the method comprising:
-
retrieving, by a profile management tool, from a repository of templates, a template; combining, by the profile management tool, the template with identity information for the device to create the alternative primary profile; and installing, by the profile management tool, at an alternative memory address on the device different from a main memory address of a main primary profile for the device, the alternative primary profile. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
