The present invention relates to a method of setting a User identification device (16), for example a SIM device, within a communication module (14) into an Out-of-Service-State at the end of lifecycle of said communication module (14) or of a device (10) incorporating such a communication module (14), said communication module (15) being allocated to a communications network (15). In order to provide solutions which easily allow to setting a User identification device within a communication module into an Out-of-Service-State at the end of lifecycle without creating any high administration and operational cost, the method is being characterized by the following steps: a) within a control device (11), which is at least temporarily in connection with said communication module (14), a signal characterizing the end of lifecycle is generated; b) the signal characterizing the end of lifecycle is transmitted from said control device (11) to said communication module (14); c) based on the received signal a message is sent (19) via said communications network (15) from the communication module (14) to a central processing device (18), which is allocated to said communications network (15), said message containing information that the User identification device (16) shall be taken Out-of-Service, d) within said central processing device (18), based on the received message the User identification device (16) is set into an Out-of-Service-State. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a communication module (14) and to a system (100). |
