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