  • ESIM switching platform
    Patent number: 11129026
    Abstract: The techniques provide a wireless communication carrier with the ability to efficiently add a device that is currently provisioned for a different carrier. Identification information is received for a mobile device to be switched from a first mobile network operator to a second mobile network operator. From a user interface executing on the mobile device, authorization is received to switch the mobile device. A token is generated that is usable to access unique identification data for an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) installed on the mobile device. Based in part on the tokens, subscription credentials are generated for accessing a mobile communications network operated by the second mobile network operator. Using the subscription credentials, the mobile device is provisioned to communicate on the mobile communications network operated by the second mobile network operator without further user input.
