eSIM setup during device enrolment
The problem with using any cloud solution to configure it is that it needs an internet connection to deploy the profile first.
Ideally you would be able to setup an eSIM during the Out of Box experience before enrolling into any services, this should be a simple a scanning the QR code.
I have also read that it is possible to Install a pre-assigned plan using the device EID, but this again seem to need some manual intervention after device setup.
If not already possible in Android 15 (I haven't got access to the latest version for testing) it looks like something that Google or a Third party OEM's would need to integrate.
I have reached out to Samsung to see if this is on the roadmap.
As already mentioned in this thread, this is something that the OEM needs to implement by the looks of things. If I take an example for Zebra devices where they have StageNow which is configuration that are scannable. I have not tried it myself with eSIM but they seem to have a partial solution for it https://supportcommunity.zebra.com/s/article/000021043?language=en_US
I know you are looking for something in regards to Samsung but maybe this can help you in the discussion with them.
Thanks Timmy, that is really useful. I am speaking to Samsung about doing something similar with KME Direct but also think Google should integrate it into the OoBE
But just FYI, see here: https://www.androidenterprise.community/t5/reports-assets/android-15-screenshots-and-slide-deck-assets/ba-p/8694
There's eSIM management stated for Android 15 but i guess still only after enrollment and not sure about the details.
Yep it's policy driven. What we'd need is a DPC.extras payload akin to system apps, locale, etc to allow the sending of a subscription ID
