Abstract: A method is performed by a set of one or more servers and includes receiving, from a first user equipment (UE) to be activated with a cellular carrier for a user, and at the set of one or more servers, information identifying a second UE of the user and authentication information for authenticating the user with the cellular carrier. The method further includes authenticating the user using the authentication information; transmitting a password to the second UE at least partly in response to authenticating the user; receiving, from the first UE and at the set of one or more servers, the password; validating the password received from the first UE; and initiating a transfer of an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) subscription, from the second UE to the first UE, at least partly in response to validating the password.

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: A user equipment (UE) is configured to transmit, to a cellular carrier, a request to activate the UE with the cellular carrier. The UE is also configured to, in response to receiving an authentication request for authenticating a user of the UE, transmit, to the cellular carrier, information identifying another UE and authentication information for authenticating the user ; prompt the user, via a display of the UE, to provide, to an input system of the UE, verification information transmitted to the other UE; transmit, to the cellular carrier, the verification information; and in response to validation of the verification information by the cellular carrier, receive an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) subscription transferred from the other UE.

Abstract: A baseband processor includes a memory and is configured to transmit, to a cellular carrier, a request to activate the UE with the cellular carrier. The baseband processor is also configured to, in response to receiving an authentication request for authenticating a user of the UE, transmit, to the cellular carrier, information identifying another UE and authentication information for authenticating the user; obtain verification information transmitted to the other UE; transmit the verification information to the cellular carrier; and after transmitting the verification information to the cellular carrier, receive an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) subscription transferred from the other UE.
