BACKGROUND

With the proliferation of mobile electronic devices, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, there is increased need to remotely provision these mobile electronic devices to communicate over a mobile communications network. Often times, the mobile electronic devices, to be provisioned for operating on a mobile network operator (MNO), may not be configured to be provisioned via a user interface or from a website or other pre-existing connection from where a device profile may be downloaded to the electronic device. In these cases, the mobile electronic devices, such as IoT devices, may be provisioned over the air (OTA), such as by using short message service (SMS) messaging. Provisioning IoT and other devices OTA using SMS and other segmented and/or low bandwidth communications mechanisms may be slow and/or error prone.
