Considerations for Adding Handsets that Support GSM Technology and eSIMS
When adding a new service or swapping equipment where the handset technology is Dual Mode or GSM, providers that pre-load eSIMS can easily select and assign an available eSIM.
Some setup is required. The functionality is toggled off by default (for providers that do not pre-load eSIMs) and can be toggled on as needed via a new Display Get Available eSIM setting in the Display section in MANAGE > Settings.
Note
The IDI Desktop Client Product Catalog supports setting up handsets to use eSIMs. When Product Class is Handset and Technology is Dual Mode (CDMA-SIM) or GSM, the Supported SIM Class drop down menu is enabled and you can select eSIM, eSIM or SIM Card (both) or SIM Card.
When this functionality is enabled as described above and the selected handset on the service details Equipment Information view supports eSIMs, the SIM ID field will have an associated Get an available eSIM link. Clicking the link will automatically populate the SIM ID field with an available eSIM.
Note
If after populating the SIM ID field with an eSIM and you change the handset to one that does not support eSIMs, the field will still be populated with the eSIM and must be cleared manually.
