provisioned

Provisioned describes a telecommunications service, line, or device in a state in which the carrier has configured it for service on the network.

In plain English

This means the carrier has set the service, line, or device up for operation on its network. It names a service state created by that configuration.

In context

Here, provisioned classifies the SIM or eSIM as being in the state where the carrier has set it up for service on the network.

Situation
Porting numbers, activating SIM or eSIM, replacing devices, and changing account details
What it communicates
classifies whether the SIM or eSIM has been set up for service

Meaning limits

By itself, provisioned does not indicate who performed the setup or any detail beyond that configured-for-service state.

Examples

“The technician confirmed that the line was provisioned for service, even though no one had plugged in a phone yet.”

Core meaning

“Move the provisioned SIM to the replacement handset.”
