Abstract
A method of sharing electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) credentials between two mobile communication devices. The method comprises changing a state of an eSIM of the first device by an eSIM sharing application executing on the first device to a transfer-in-progress state, transmitting eSIM credentials to the second device via a peer-to-peer wireless communication link by the eSIM sharing application, where the eSIM sharing application reads the eSIM credentials from the eSIM of the first device, changing a state of the eSIM of the first device by the eSIM sharing application to a disabled-transferred state, and transmitting a disabled-transferred message to the second device via the peer-to-peer wireless communication link by the eSIM sharing application, whereby the second device is enabled to communicate on a cellular wireless communication network based on authentication using the eSIM credentials transmitted by the first device.
