Re: How to obtain the eSIM EID (Embedded Identification Document) from a device with DO (Device Owner) active?
I’d like to inform you that it no longer requires a response, as the information provided earlier has already clarified the situation. Thanks again for your support!181Views0likes0CommentsRe: How to obtain the eSIM EID (Embedded Identification Document) from a device with DO (Device Owner) active?
Just like in Android 15, where MDM solutions were given the ability to activate eSIM on devices, could you let us know if there will be a possibility to retrieve the EID at some point as well? Some telecom operators require this information to provide us with the eSIM activation code.277Views0likes1CommentRe: How to obtain the eSIM EID (Embedded Identification Document) from a device with DO (Device Owner) active?
I see. Regarding the EID being combined with the IMEI, for now, I’m not considering going that route because, from what I understand, an EID isn’t necessarily linked to an IMEI (physical SIM), especially since we may have devices that only support eSIM without a physical SIM, meaning there wouldn’t be an IMEI. At least that’s what I’ve understood so far. Please correct me if I’m wrong about this.325Views0likes1CommentRe: How to obtain the eSIM EID (Embedded Identification Document) from a device with DO (Device Owner) active?
Hello Michel , Thank you for your response. I had already checked the documentation looking for an alternative through the Samsung Knox API (and I double-checked it again after reading your response), but I couldn’t find a way to retrieve the EID. If you happen to have an example or a reference that you could share with us, it would be much appreciated. This might be a good alternative for us as well. We could also consider asking the device supplier to obtain the EID for us and send it to the telecom provider so they can provide the eSIM activation codes. However, I believe we’ll face another challenge: since we are dealing with large-scale activation, it will be difficult to match the eSIM profile activation codes to the correct devices, as we are still unable to retrieve the EID through an MDM/EMM solution due to the requirement for "carrier privileges." We’re still waiting for a solution to this issue. Thank you.356Views0likes4CommentsHow to obtain the eSIM EID (Embedded Identification Document) from a device with DO (Device Owner) active?
Hello, We are looking to implement the functionality to provision eSIM profiles on devices with Android 15+. However, we encountered a telecom provider that requires the EID of the devices before providing us with the eSIM activation code. In this initial stage, we are simply trying to obtain the EIDs of all devices so that we can send them to the telecom provider and receive the eSIM activation code in return. To obtain the EID, we are using the following approach: `euiccManager.createForCardId(slot).eid` However, we are encountering this issue as noted here: *Must have carrier privileges on subscription to read EID for cardId=0 [java.lang.SecurityException: Must have carrier privileges on subscription to read EID for cardId=0]* The same issue occurs with `euiccManager.eid`. According to the documentation mentioned above, Android 15 introduced the possibility of managing eSIM profiles without requiring carrier privileges. However, it seems that the same should also apply to obtaining the EID. I noticed a similar situation reported here that has been unanswered since September 2024. Is there any other way to retrieve the EID, or is there any plan to include EID in the bypass for managed corporate devices (which have Device Owner active)? Looking forward to any insights on this. Thanks in advance!551Views0likes12Comments
