Methods and apparatus for enabling remote management of a profile in an identity module

Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatuses for enabling remote management of a profile in an identity module in an NB-IoT device. A proxy server is configured with access to a database of one or more external identifiers associated with one or more respective NB-IoT devices, wherein the one or more external identifiers are used to address the respective one or more NB-IoT devices via an exposure function in a core network. A method in the proxy server comprises receiving a request to deliver a triggering message to the NB-IoT device, wherein the request comprises a device identifier; determining an external identifier based on the received device identifier; and delivering the triggering message to the NB-IoT device using the external identifier.
