Abstract: This Application describes mechanisms to transfer cellular service plans and associated credentials efficiently between wireless devices. Information regarding transferability of cellular services for SIMs/eSIMs to a wireless device are obtained from locally stored or remotely accessible cellular service information and/or associated mobile network operator (MNO) information. Access to network-based servers to determine transferability and/or to effect transfer can use non-cellular connections when available. Transferability information can be presented to a user to narrow selection of cellular service plans to transfer.

Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for cellular wireless network characterization and selection based on wireless device usage, including selection of a public land mobile network (PLMN) and/or a subscriber identity module (SIM) best matched to PLMN characterized performance scores and/or habitual device usage of a wireless device. Network performance scores for multiple PLMNs based on crowd-sourced information are downloaded to a wireless device. The wireless device determines a best match between characterized network performance scores to habitual device usage characterization of the wireless device. A best matched roaming PLMN can be determined for a single SIM wireless device. A best matched SIM paired with a best matched PLMN can be chosen as a primary SIM to optimize roaming performance of a multiple SIM wireless device. Additionally, a SIM, associated with a best matched PLMN, can be recommended for installation to a multiple SIM capable wireless device.

Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for dynamically managing a provisioning electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) for a wireless device. A provisioning eSIM is installed in the wireless device to provide a limited functionality connectivity option for essential services, such as device activation and user eSIM provisioning. To reduce signaling load on a network and to conserve wireless device battery power, the provisioning eSIM is reconfigured between an inactive state and an active state dynamically based on user actions and system requirements.

Abstract: This Application describes mechanisms for enterprise remote management of cellular services provided via access credentials, e.g., subscriber identity modules (SIMs) and/or electronic SIMs (eSIMs), for wireless devices. To minimize requirements for user interaction, installation and management of business-supplied cellular service profiles on the wireless device can intercept alert notifications to reduce interruptions and allow for background management of the business-supplied cellular service profiles. Additionally, a business enterprise can use multiple, distinct services to initiate installation of an eSIM to a wireless device. When two different services attempt to install eSIMs on the wireless device in parallel, management software on the wireless device can control an order of installation and disallow duplicate installations of an identical eSIM to the wireless device. The management software can also monitor eSIM installations and manage alert notifications that occur during the eSIM installation process.

Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for managing electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles at a wireless device, including accommodating delays and/or error conditions that can occur during provisioning, installation, and/or activation of an eSIM for the wireless device. A wireless device implements one or more monitoring modes to determine changes in status of a newly installed eSIM, a re-activated eSIM, and/or a replenished data eSIM, and learn when the eSIM can be used to access services of a cellular wireless network. The wireless device can detect eSIM status changes based on messages received from a cellular wireless network or by testing data connections to a pre-configured test connectivity end point.

Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for transfer of a cellular wireless service plan associated with a SIM or an eSIM between non-linked wireless devices. A target wireless device broadcasts an advertisement beacon requesting transfer of a cellular wireless service plan. After successful authentication with a source wireless device, using a manually entered verification code or a QR verification code, the target wireless device selects a cellular wireless service plan to transfer. The source wireless device obtains a transfer token from an MNO entitlement server for transfer of the selected cellular wireless service plan and provides the transfer token to the target wireless device via a secure, short distance Bluetooth connection or, alternatively, embedded in an encrypted QR code. The target wireless device uses the transfer token to obtain a new eSIM associated with transfer of the cellular wireless service plan.

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: Apparatus and methods to transfer user preferences for cellular wireless service associated credentials transferred from a source device to a target device. Transfer of credentials can include physically moving a physical subscriber identity module (SIM) card between devices, transfer of cellular wireless service from a first SIM card at the source device to a second SIM card at the target device, and/or transfer of cellular wireless services for one or more electronic SIMs (eSIMs) from the source device to the target device. Preferences associated with some or all of the transferred SIMs/eSIMs can be applied at the target device when certain matching criteria are satisfied. Exemplary matching criteria include matching identifiers, such as integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) values, mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN) values, and/or mappings thereof. Transfer of preferences can occur via a local peer-to-peer connection, a secure cloud-based service, and/or a backup and restore process.

Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for transferring an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) with the same integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) value from a source mobile wireless device to a target mobile wireless device directly with a mobile network operator (MNO) provisioning server. The target mobile wireless device downloads the eSIM from the MNO provisioning server after deletion of the eSIM on the source mobile wireless device and reassignment of the eSIM with the same ICCID value to the target mobile wireless device.
