RE: MFF2 + eSIM for IoT device (with end users owning subscriptions)
@mfcss I think you can get this by a ‘Bootstrap provider’ . DT offers connectivity and is not offering bootstrap (only) profiles.
What we offer in consumer eSIM product is connectivity, not just bootstrap as you require. -
RE: MFF2 + eSIM for IoT device (with end users owning subscriptions)
@mfcss Let’s please not call the eUICC or eSIM, MFF2. Maybe that’s the reason for the confusions.
You cannot change the profile on MFF2 , the same as you cannot do it on your plastic SIM.
You need a consumer eSIM and this has HW part which is still embedded/solderableWhen you use consumer eSIM in your product, it comes with a bootsrtap profile (equivalent to WiFi in iPhone which is required to download eSIM profile )
As much as I know, this is something DT offers for consumer products such as smart watch, eldery, child monitoring and some bikes with UI. Let’s get you a consumer eSIM expert to give you more info.
Best, Mona

RE: MFF2 + eSIM for IoT device (with end users owning subscriptions)
@mfcss Hi Martin,
First of all let’s distinguish between MFF2 chip and eUICC (eSIM). This is a common mistake in the market that a MFF2 chips is called eSIM. MFF2 is exact same technology as plastic SIM cards, just a different packaging (more industrial) which can be soldered on PCB. So no provider flexiblity in MFF2.
From what I read, you need a consumer eSIM (mentioning user interface and QR code). It comes with bootsrtap profile (for the first connection to load the target profile) The end customer will decide for the target profile and load it in the device. My knowledge about consumer eSIM is quite limited. It’s better to try and get an expert to give you more detailed info.Best, Mona
