1. An electronic device comprising:
a first communication module comprising communication circuitry configured to establish a cellular communication connection;
a second communication module comprising communication circuitry configured to establish a short-range communication connection;
at least one processor; and
memory for storing information corresponding to the electronic device and instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
establish the cellular communication connection with an external server using the first communication module,
establish the short-range communication connection with an external electronic device using the second communication module,
transmit a first request for a specific service activation to the external server through the cellular communication connection, wherein the first request includes information indicating whether to activate the specific service and the specific service is for transmitting and/or receiving a call via the cellular communication connection with a telephone number of the electronic device at the external electronic device,
transmit a second request for configuration information, to the external server through the cellular communication connection, including one or more service identifiers corresponding to one or more services, including the specific service, available to the external electronic device,
subsequent to transmission of the first request and/or the second request, receive the configuration information associated with the activated specific service available to the external electronic device, and
transmit a first information, associated with the configuration information, to the external electronic device through the short-range communication connection, the first information including setting information that cause the external electronic device to perform an operation to activate the specific service for utilizing the specific service.
