EID
An EID number is a 32-digit identifier associated with eSIM. Only devices that support eSIM have an EID. This check identifies if a specific IMEI has an EID number, and if so, it indicates the number.
Why It Matters
Knowing the EID of an eSIM is important in various contexts. It can help you 1) assign mobile plans to specific devices, 2) track which eSIM belongs to which individual and device, and 3) better manage devices via administrative platforms.
When to Use
This data is especially useful for those planning to do OTA (over the air) activations. Knowing the EID number is crucial to perform OTA activations. Lack of an EID can mean that the device only has physical SIM capabilities, requiring a different reactivation protocol.
