1. A network device comprising:
a transceiver to establish communication with a first user device; and
a processor, wherein the processor and transceiver are configured to:
receive, by a subscription management (SM) platform associated with a wireless network of a mobile network operator (MNO) from a first user device over a second network other than the wireless network, a message including the device ID, wherein the first user device does not include a subscriber identity mobile (SIM) profile associated with the wireless network of the MNO,
send, by the SM platform to the first user device over the second network, a confirmation code request message,
receive, by the SM platform from the first user device over the second network, a confirmation code response message indicative of a request to send a stored confirmation code to a second user device,
receive, by the SM platform from the first user device over the second network, a confirmation code entered by a user, and
send, by the SM platform to the first user device over the second network when the confirmation code entered by the user matches the stored confirmation code, the SIM profile associated with the device ID for provisioning the wireless network of the MNO.
