    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.

    Abstract: A mobile device may install and monitor geofences. The application or the operating system (OS) may store a set of geofences. The application or OS may determine the mobile device's current location and generate a first bounding area around the current location. The application or OS may determine the size or radius of the first bounding area such that no more than a specified number of geofences fall inside the first bounding area. The application or OS may monitor the mobile device's location in the first bounding area and determine whether the mobile device exits the first bounding area. In response to determining that the mobile device exits the first bounding area, the application or OS may determine the mobile device's location and generate a second bonding area such that no more than the specified number of the geofences fall inside the second bounding area.

    Abstract: Techniques are directed toward network identification collision detection. An example method includes selecting a first subscriber identity module (SIM) associated with a public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID) and a network identifier (NID) of a private network. The method can further include generating a first non-access stratum (NAS) registration request to establish a connection with the private network using the first SIM. The method can further include processing a NAS registration request reject message received from the private network. The method can further include selecting a second SIM associated with the PLMN ID and the NID. The method can further include generating a second NAS registration request to establish a connection with the private network using the second SIM. The method can further include processing a NAS registration request success message received from the private network. The method can further include logging NID collision information.
