Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for managing electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles at a wireless device, including accommodating delays and/or error conditions that can occur during provisioning, installation, and/or activation of an eSIM for the wireless device. A wireless device implements one or more monitoring modes to determine changes in status of a newly installed eSIM, a re-activated eSIM, and/or a replenished data eSIM, and learn when the eSIM can be used to access services of a cellular wireless network. The wireless device can detect eSIM status changes based on messages received from a cellular wireless network or by testing data connections to a pre-configured test connectivity end point.

Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for provisioning and activating an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) as a primary SIM for a mobile wireless device that includes a limited functionality physical SIM (pSIM) associated with a particular mobile network operator (MNO) and installed in the mobile wireless device at a time of manufacture. An eSIM associated with the particular MNO is reserved during a sales order process and later activated during device activation after receipt by a user using a secure over-the-air (OTA) cellular connection enabled by the limited functionality pSIM, when a non-cellular connection or other Internet accessible connection is available. Dual SIM device configuration processes can be suppressed during activation of the eSIM. After successful attachment of the mobile wireless device to a cellular wireless network of the particular MNO using credentials of the eSIM, the limited functionality pSIM is disabled.
