1. A computer-implemented method of providing a virtual SIM-based card pool, the method comprising steps of:
downloading a USIM profile;
storing the USIM profile in in a profile information database, the profile information database including a plurality of USIM profiles;
generating, based on the USIM profile stored in the profile information database, a USIM instance stored as software in a virtual SIM container of a virtual card pool, the virtual card pool including a plurality of virtual SIM containers;
receiving an external SIM authentication request generated by a mobile device;
instructing the USIM instance to provide a response to the external SIM authentication request; and
causing the response provided by the USIM instance to be transmitted to the mobile device,
wherein the steps are performed by a computing device including one or more processors coupled to one or more hardware memories.
