EID

EID, or eUICC Identifier, is the globally unique 32-digit number that identifies a particular eUICC.

In plain English

This is a 32-digit identifier used to single out one exact eUICC from all others. It is globally unique, so no two eUICCs have the same number.

In context

Here, EID refers to the unique 32-digit number that identifies the particular eUICC in the device whose identifier is being requested during setup.

Situation
Porting numbers, activating SIM or eSIM, replacing devices, and changing account details
What it communicates
labels the device eSIM identifier requested during setup

Meaning limits

The term itself tells you only the identifier for a particular eUICC, not any other details about that eUICC.

Examples

“Among the identical units, the 32-digit EID singled out the exact eUICC that needed replacing.”

Core meaning

“When the setup process requested the eUICC identifier, the technician entered the device's EID.”
