minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-27 months agoHuh, TIL, an esim is literally a sim soldered into the board. Now I wonder, could something like the Pinephone FOSS modem firmware register a sim and resolve point 2?
minus-square@DreamlandLividitylinkEnglish3•edit-27 months agoI am not an expert but I don’t think a modem has anything to do with registering the e-sim. Even if it did, the hard part is probably getting the e-sim data/keys to be registered, not the uploading it to the e-sim chip itself.
