1. An electronic device comprising:
a camera;
a touch screen;
first communication circuitry configured to establish a short-range communication connection with a wearable electronic device;
second communication circuitry configured to establish a cellular communication connection;
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
obtain, using the camera, information for establishing the short-range communication connection with the wearable electronic device from a graphical code provided via the wearable electronic device,
establish, using the first communication circuitry, the short-range communication connection with the wearable electronic device,
determine whether a communication profile for a cellular network service is installed in the wearable electronic device,
based on determining that the communication profile is not installed in the wearable electronic device, display, via the touch screen, a button for installing the communication profile in the wearable electronic device,
based on a selection of the button, display, via the touch screen, a user interface (UI) for subscribing to a cellular network service, received from a first server,
receive, using the second communication circuitry, a communication profile for the cellular network service for the wearable electronic device, from a second server, and
transmit, using the first communication circuitry, the received communication profile for the cellular network service to the wearable electronic device.
