An eSIM manager for Mobile Linux - Luca Weiss

For a while eSIM management on Mobile Linux, such as postmarketOS, was just a dream. Now it’s real! Background Nowadays many smartphones and other devices have a so-called eSIM - or eUICC - built-in to the device. This eSIM is essentially a chip on the PCB of the device that allows an end user to download a SIM profile - essentially all the data of a SIM card - to said chip and then the modem of the device can use that chip the same way as it would use any physical SIM card you insert.

    This is fantastic, I wish it was unnecessary to begin with, but this is a critical piece of the Linux Phone.

    These are exciting times in FOSS.

    This is excellent! Does anyone know if the PinePhone Pro supports eSIM?

      Not built-in, but a physical eSIM might work.

      The author mentions the original PP here: https://fosstodon.org/@z3ntu/112671920423295450

    Does anybody know if eSims themselves run foss and just use credentials for the service provider?

    Excuse me if the article mentions that already.
