Gestion des cartes SIM

Questions fréquentes eSIM

Qu’est-ce qu’une eSIM ?


Une eSIM est un module intégré à l’intérieur d’un appareil mobile capable de remplacer la carte SIM physique traditionnelle (c’est-à-dire une carte en plastique avec une puce). Une eSIM a la particularité de pouvoir stocker et accéder à plusieurs « Profils eSIM ».

De plus, une eSIM exploite les mêmes services pour votre MVNO (par exemple, les services vocaux, messagerie, barring, les forfaits, etc.) qu’une carte SIM physique traditionnelle. La seule différence est que le parcours d’intégration est maintenant digitalisé.

De plus en plus de smartphones, tablettes et ordinateurs portables sont équipés d’une eSIM suivant les normes définies par la GSMA. Ces normes unifient les spécifications permettant à tous les opérateurs de réseau et fabricants de téléphones de déployer des eSIM et des profils eSIM afin qu’ils soient universellement compatibles.
 
Qu’est-ce qu’un profil eSIM ?
Un profil eSIM est un ensemble de configurations qui doivent être téléchargées sur une eSIM afin d’accéder au réseau mobile de l’opérateur. Le profil eSIM est généralement présenté sous la forme d’un code d’activation ou d’un QR code a scanner.
 
Comment installer un profil eSIM en tant qu’utilisateur final ?
Pour installer un profil eSIM sur votre appareil, plusieurs options sont disponibles :
-Scannez un QR code avec votre appareil pour télécharger le profil eSIM et terminez la configuration de l’eSIM directement via la page de configuration eSIM.
-Un code d’activation qui doit être saisi manuellement (ou copié et collé) dans le parcours de configuration eSIM de l’appareil.

Dois-je être connecté à une connexion Wi-Fi ou cellulaire pour installer un profil eSIM ?
Oui, une connexion cellulaire ou une connexion Wi-Fi est nécessaire au préalable pour télécharger le profil eSIM lorsque vous scannez le code QR ou saisissez un code d’activation.

Comment puis-je obtenir des profils eSIM ?
Vous pouvez commander des eSIM auprès de Transatel de la même manière que des cartes SIM physiques. Pour plus d’informations, contactez votre gestionnaire de compte.

Comment les eSIM sont-elles livrées ?
Une fois la commande exécutée, l’équipe Transatel Fulfillment enverra un fichier (similaire à une commande SIM physique) contenant les codes d’activation.

Le MVNO peut choisir deux options :
-Utiliser les codes d’activation du fichier pour les distribuer à ses abonnés : c’est-à-dire le texte qui peut être inséré dans le menu de configuration de l’eSIM,
-Le MVNO convertira ces codes d’activation en QR codes à scanner par les abonnés,
PS: Transatel fournira des QR codes à l’unité seulement à travers Auriga


Le MVNO peut décider de la manière de fournir ces profils eSIM aux abonnés, par exemple en incluant le QR code ou activation code dans un e-mail, inclure celui-ci dans son espace client ou en imprimant le QRCode et l’envoyer par courrier.

Vous pouvez vous diriger vers notre Portail Développeur pour plus d’informations sur les APIs eSIM.

Comment les eSIM sont-elles activées ?
Le MVNO peut activer l’eSIM via Auriga ou par API, de la même manière qu’une carte SIM physique.

Les eSIM ont-elles besoin d’être activée pour les télécharger ?
Non, mais une eSIM activée conduit à un meilleur parcours client. En effet, une eSIM activée fonctionnera immédiatement.
Cependant, si vous avez décidé d’activer l’eSIM après le téléchargement, l’eSIM restera sous le statut « activation ». Dans ce cas, l’abonné doit simplement redémarrer son appareil une fois la carte SIM activée via Auriga/API.

Que faire si mon abonné ne peut pas scanner le code QR ?
Si l’abonné ne dispose pas d’un deuxième appareil pour afficher le code QR a scanner, ou s’il a des difficultés à afficher le QR code, le MVNO peut simplement lui fournir le code d’activation que l’abonné peut copier et coller dans le parcours de configuration de l’eSIM. La plupart des fournisseurs de services distribuent le code d’activation en même temps que le code QR.

Le QR code expire-t-il ?
Le QR code n’expirera pas s’il n’a pas encore été téléchargé.

Comment m’assurer que mon téléphone est compatible eSIM ?
Vous pouvez vérifier si le téléphone est compatible dans la liste ci-dessous, selon la marque et le modèle de l’appareil : https://assistance.orange-business.com/mobile/les-terminaux-compatibles-avec-la-esim
 
Que se passe-t-il si un client supprime un profil eSIM de son appareil ? Peut-il être téléchargé à nouveau ?
Les eSIM Transatel ne peuvent être téléchargées qu’une seule fois. Si un profil eSIM est supprimé d’un appareil, l’abonné doit recevoir un nouveau profil eSIM et le MVNO devra effectuer un SIM Swap pour que l’abonné puisse récupérer son abonnement avec le même MSISDN.

Puis-je avoir ma propre marque affiché sur l’écran avec mon eSIM ?
Malheureusement, il n’est pas possible aujourd’hui d’avoir votre propre marque sur l’écran (SPN dédié) avec vos eSIM.
 
Que se passe-t-il si un abonné perd ou change de téléphone eSIM ?
L’abonné doit télécharger un nouveau profil eSIM sur son nouvel appareil et un SIM SWAP (Echange de eSIM) doit être effectué.
NB : l’abonné doit également télécharger un nouveau profil eSIM via SIM Swap en cas de transfert vers un nouvel iPhone.

Puis-je voir si un client a déjà téléchargé l’eSIM ?
Pour le déploiement initial des eSIM, il n’est pas possible de récupérer les statuts SMDP+ (par exemple, si l’eSIM a été téléchargée, installée, supprimée). Cependant, le statut de l’abonné (actif, suspendu, résilié…) est disponible sur Auriga, comme pour les SIM physiques.

Les échanges de cartes SIM fonctionnent-ils entre la carte SIM physique et l’eSIM ?
Oui, les cartes SIM physiques peuvent être échangées en eSIM et vice versa.
Pour ce faire, l’abonné doit disposer d’une carte SIM d’échange ou d’une eSIM d’échange (une carte SIM sans MSISDN attachée) et les MVNO peuvent effectuer des échanges de cartes SIM via Auriga ou API.

Combien d’eSIM peuvent être activées sur un appareil à la fois ?
La plupart des appareils vous permettent de télécharger et de stocker plusieurs profils eSIM. Cependant, pour le moment, ces appareils autorisent qu’un seul profil eSIM actif à la fois. Cela devrait changer avec l’arrivée des appareils uniquement eSIM (iPhone 16).
Par conséquent, dans la plupart des cas, si vous souhaitez séparer le service de data des autres services voix et SMS, vous devrez utiliser une carte SIM physique en plus d’une eSIM.

Une eSIM peut-elle être utilisée sur plus d’un appareil ?
Non, l’eSIM ne peut être active que sur un seul appareil à la fois. Chaque appareil doit avoir son propre profil eSIM unique.

Les eSIM seront-elles identifiées / apparaîtront-elles différemment dans les systèmes Transatel existants ?
Oui! Les MVNO pourront filtrer par type de SIM dans Auriga à l’aide des filtres situés sur le côté droit de l’écran d’Auriga.



 
Y a-t-il un changement dans les délais de commande des eSIM ?
Les délais de livraison restent les mêmes pour les cartes électroniques et les eSIM, mais attendez-vous à ce que les eSIM soient livrées plus rapidement car nous n’avons pas à compter sur les transporteurs !

Les profils eSIM peuvent-ils être utilisés dans des appareils autres que les téléphones mobiles ? par exemple les ordinateurs portables, les tablettes ?
Oui, partout où l’eSIM est conforme à la GSMA (toutes les marques et tous les appareils grand public), les profils eSIM Transatel peuvent être téléchargés.

Veuillez noter que les eSIM ne fonctionne pas à ce jour dans les montres connectées.
