Named profiles have the following advantages over the unnamed profiles:

1. Simplifies administration of users
2. Allows you to find the subscribers with the required profile by profile name
3. Allows you to change the profile to all subscribers with a given named profile simply by changing the profile parameters
4. Allows you to control the restriction on the number of unique named profiles (up to 65535)

Unnamed profiles have the following advantages:

1. No need to have a deal with profile management (create and delete it), the profile is released together with the removal service or subscriber profile
2. No need to invent a profile name
