Perform eSIM Operations
The IoT.live Portal supports eSIM operational workflows across supported providers and subscription types.
Using the platform, administrators can perform eSIM lifecycle operations for individual devices or across large-scale deployments.
[IMAGE PLACEHOLDER: eSIM operations overview]
Supported eSIM operations
Available operations may include:
- Profile downloads
- Profile enablement
- Profile disablement
- Profile swaps
- Subscription changes
- Network transitions
Available eSIM operations depend on provider capabilities, subscription type, and platform configuration.
Perform eSIM operations for a single device
To manage eSIM operations for an individual connection:
- Open Inventory Management
- Select the device
- Open the eSIM Operations menu
- Choose the required operation
- Confirm the action

Perform bulk eSIM operations
The platform also supports bulk eSIM workflows across multiple devices.
To perform a bulk operation:
- Select multiple devices
- Open the bulk actions menu
- Select eSIM Operations
- Choose the required operation
- Confirm the request
[IMAGE PLACEHOLDER: Bulk eSIM operations]
Bulk eSIM operations can affect large numbers of live devices simultaneously.
Monitor eSIM operation status
After submitting an operation:
- Requests are sent to the provider platform
- Processing times may vary
- Status updates may not appear immediately
Operational progress may depend on:
- Provider responsiveness
- Device availability
- Network connectivity
- Subscription state

Common eSIM workflows
Typical operational scenarios include:
- Migrating devices between networks
- Replacing connectivity providers
- Updating subscription profiles
- Managing international deployments
- Recovering failed connectivity

Operational considerations
Before performing eSIM operations:
- Verify the target devices carefully
- Confirm provider compatibility
- Validate subscription availability
- Ensure rollback procedures exist where possible
Some eSIM operations may temporarily interrupt live connectivity during processing.
Provider-specific behaviour
eSIM capabilities can vary significantly between providers.
Differences may include:
- Supported operations
- Processing times
- Synchronisation behaviour
- Device compatibility
- Error handling
Test operational workflows on a small device group before executing large-scale eSIM changes.
