Support for eSIM Technology

When the servce has a retail product where Technology is Dual Mode (CDMA-SIM) or GSM the device may be configured for  technology.

eSIM

The Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) also known as an Embedded SIM (eSIM) is replacing plastic SIM cards currently used in most wireless devices. The CostGuard system supports eSIM technology as follows:

  • Product Catalog lets you configure handsets to use eSIM or SIM card or both.

  • Device Management Add/Edit Device and Device Search dialogs let you specify an EID for eSIM devices rather than IMEI or ESN/MEID as required for SIM card devices.

  • SIM Management – SIM search results indicate device’s Supported SIM Class.

  • Customer Management – When you add/edit a service or swap equipment, there are new fields for viewing/editing the EID if the device on the service is eSIM.

  • POS Make Sale - Same functionality as Customer Management described above.

  • Orders – Same functionality as Customer Management described above.

  • Customer Care- Supports viewing eSIM information on a service when applicable. This includes generating and storing QR codes for orders with eSIM devices where subscribers need to scan the QR code into their phone to complete the activation process. It also supports storing related activation URLs as these can help sales representatives troubleshoot activation issues (by validating the URL).

  • Import Files – SIM and Device File imports support EID and SIM Class.

In this case, the Service Information page has an additional field for viewing/specifying the EID.

UG template for Help

The Handset dropdown drives the behavior of the EID field as described below.

Note

If the handset only supports SIM card, the field is not visible.

The following rules apply:

  • If device Supported SIM Class = eSIM Only the EID field is required.

  • If device Supported SIM Class = eSIM or SIM Card you must choose to assign an eSIM or a SIM Card.

    • EID is required if using an eSIM. It’s optional if using a SIM Card.

  • For Customer-provided equipment (CPE), the user-entered EID must be 32 digits in length and not already exist in Device Management.

  • If the entered equipment MEID/IMEI is found and already a record in the Device table, it will auto-populate the EID with the value from the table, if available.

    • If the EID value is auto-populated, then it cannot be modified

  • The entered eSIM value must be either:

    • a temporary value that will be updated later in the process (e.g. XXXXXXXXXX) or,

    • a valid eSIM number (where the eSIM value already exists in SIM Management by having been pre-loaded and is then either entered by the user or auto-assigned by the solution)
