eSIM provider and hardware support

General
1

(In the same spirit as Volte provider support).

There is some eSIM support in SailfishOS currently, brought to us by @cypherpunks with SimPro | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System and their lpac fork.

This wiki is intended to list eSIM providers and devices (phones or physical card eSIMS) that worked for you.

Please don’t use links.

Providers that work with lpac - SimPro

Countries matter in case of no global reseller.

I haven’t manage to download profile from Orange provider in Poland on internal eSIM reader of Xperia 5 IV. Unfortunately, didn’t have a chance to download it in Android and check if eSIM would work in SailfishOS.

Have you already tested from commandline with LPAC_APDU_GBINDER_UIM_SLOT=2 LPAC_APDU=gbinder lpac profile download followed by -s and your registration info?

Yes, I’ve tested it when I tried to make eSIM work, but unfortunately didn’t save any logs from this test. As far as I remember, the problem was with cellular provider communication format (but I’m not sure it was long time ago)

I will try to reproduce this issue

I’m pretty sure free.fr doesn’t work either.. Unfortunately I don’t know how I ended in the bad profile state since I had tried the GUI SimPro first
