Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus to enable and disable cellular services for one or more cellular capable secondary wireless devices associated with a primary wireless device are disclosed. The primary wireless device, in response to detecting a status change of an in use state of a cellular capable secondary wireless device can provide a notification to a network server of a wireless network to disable cellular wireless services for previously enabled cellular capable secondary wireless devices and to enable cellular wireless services for the cellular capable secondary wireless device. Control of cellular wireless services for cellular capable secondary wireless devices can be based on a combination of registration for services, activation and deactivation of eSIMs on the cellular capable secondary wireless devices, and/or changes to eSIM states or contexts maintained by the network server.
