Abstract
This application describes techniques for dynamically updating a subscriber identity module (SIM) activation policy for enabling use of an electronic SIM (eSIM) and/or a physical SIM (pSIM) in a wireless device. The wireless device is initially configured with a less restrictive SIM activation policy and during setup is reconfigured to a more restrictive SIM activation policy that locks the wireless device to a particular mobile network operator (MNO) based on an eSIM or a pSIM installed in the wireless device.
