1. A method comprising:
activation or deactivation, for a terminal, of a virtual subset of a telecommunications network referred to as a “network slice,” dedicated to a service, the telecommunications network comprising a plurality of network slices, the terminal being connected to the telecommunications network, and the activation or deactivation being implemented by the terminal and comprising at least:
a) acquiring at least one piece of context data of a user, and
b) activating or deactivating at least one network slice among the plurality of network slices, on the basis of the previously acquired piece of context data,
wherein at least a first network slice is activated beforehand for the terminal, prior to implementation of the acquiring in a), and wherein the first network slice is deactivated during the activating or deactivating in b).
