Subscriber Identity Module Over-The-Air Push Notification

A communication device includes a subscriber identity module (SIM), a central processing unit (CPU), and a non-transitory memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the CPU, causes the SIM to receive an over-the-air (OTA) Internet Protocol (IP) notification from an OTA server via an IP notification server, where the OTA IP notification comprises SIM content comprising an encrypted payload, decrypt the encrypted payload to obtain a decrypted payload, wherein the decrypted payload includes data or a trigger instruction, determine whether the decrypted payload includes the trigger instruction, and update the SIM with the SIM content when the decrypted payload includes data.
