The method for provisioning an operational subscription comprising: establishing a connection from a first terminal to a provisioning server using the information of a first provisional subscription of the first terminal; transmitting a first terminal identifier of the first terminal to the provisioning server via the connection; and upon receipt of a message from the provisioning server, which was sent if, based on the first terminal identifier, the first terminal is already registered and one operational subscription of the first terminal is active, downloading from the provisioning server another operational subscription corresponding to the first provisional subscription. With the proposed solutions, it is more convenient for a user of the terminal to obtain operational subscriptions.
