# About Remote SIM Provisioning

A short introduction.

Remote SIM provisioning allows you to alter the configuration of a SIM card through commands over the wireless network. For example, this enables you to switch to another network operator without having to change the physical SIM-card in your device.

On [kpn.com](https://www.kpn.com/zakelijk/internet-of-things/m2m.htm) you can download a [whitepaper explaining more about eSIM and RSP](https://www.kpn.com/w3/file?uuid=8e525061-cf00-403e-aa26-fb48e20ad8d1\&owner=8de86c61-bdc8-4848-872e-e5b380e682fc\&contentid=40666).

## KPN RSP Gateway

If you are a KPN remote SIM provisioning customer, the KPN RSP Gateway allows you to command your RSP SIMs through APIs. We identify two types of customer scenarios:

1. KPN provides RSP SIMs with a bootstrap profile from KPN - full access possible.
2. KPN only provides virtual profiles for non-KPN RSP SIMs - only access to profile management.

You can read on to learn more about Remove SIM provisioning and the KPN RSP Gateway.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.kpnthings.com/kpn-things/rsp/getting-started/master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
