Any idea how one can get hands on consumer-profile eUICC cards (or chips)? I've wanted to play around with eSIM (and perhaps use it for travel purposes), but don't want to upgrade my phone just yet. Found this one, but it's for testing only: https://www.smartjac.biz/esim-subscription-management/consumer-device-test-euicc-for-rsp-testing-remote-sim-provisioning https://www.smartjac.biz/esim-subscription-management/consum...

https://esim.me https://esim.me is selling an eUICC-on-a-physical-SIM card. The only part that sucks is that you have to provision eSIM profiles through their proprietary Android app. Someone please reverse engineer it?

  After some research I've found this thread on XDA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a-tricky-way-to-use-esim-on-cn-in-variant.4609543/ https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a-tricky-way-to-use-esim-... Seems like it should be possible to solder an eUICC chip to a SIM-card form factor board and use it with OpenEUICC. [1] Somebody is even selling those pre-soldered on Taobao: https://shop104192953.world.taobao.com/ https://shop104192953.world.taobao.com/ Later in that thread, somebody also reported that OpenEUICC works with eSIM.me's cards, too. If you have one of these, can you give it a try perhaps?

Anyone know what the cost of starting a thin e-sim only "MVNO" would be? I've seen offerings like https://gigs.com https://gigs.com but I assume due to NDAs there's no public pricing. Wondering what it would take to to offer something along the lines of Airalo or like the "me.ONE" plan offered on esim.me.
