Abstract: A method for provisioning a communication device with an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profile. The method includes releasing a first eSIM profile by an eSIM management server hosting a plurality of unallocated eSIM profiles, and registering the release of the first eSIM profile by a discovery server. The method additionally includes requesting at least some of the information related to the release of the first eSIM profile from the discovery server, wherein the request includes an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) of the communication device, and retrieving an address of the eSIM management server by the discovery server based on the IMEI. The method further includes providing the address to a local provisioning assistant (LPA) of the communication device by the discovery server, and provisioning the communication device with the first eSIM profile from the eSIM management server by the LPA of the communication device.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by an equipment identity register application in the target mobile network, an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of a user equipment (UE) associated with the subscriber and a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) identifier (ID) identifying an inactive SIM card inserted into the UE or an inactive electronic SIM (eSIM) profile installed at the UE, determining that the UE is attempting to attach to the target mobile network for a first time based on the IMEI and the SIM ID, adding an event to an event queue of the target mobile network, and processing the event by accessing subscriber data stored at the source mobile network to validate that the IMEI of the UE is indicated in the subscriber data stored at the source mobile network, wherein the subscriber data includes a subscriber account indicated by the IMEI of the UE.
