This is cool. Let eSIM take over physical sim and then we don't need to run for sims.

Is it something similar to CDMA thing?

 

[IndianMascot]

Yeah. i seems so.

 

[Aviral Sangal]

I hope it is able to tackle menace if phone theft.

 

[IndianMascot]

yeah. unless re-programmed, number will remain with handset and would be tracked by the manufacturer

 

[Aviral Sangal]

Imei can be changed easily but manufacturer serial number change is quite difficult task. So if they really want to take steps in preventing stolen phones from being used they should block the serial number.

With RSN/ESN number device can be locked in CDMA. Isn't it?

It can be, but what happen is devices with bad ESN/RSN in US are sold outside US and the information of bad ESN is not shared globaly
