It may be appropriate to merging this content into the article [[eSIM]. I see this article as stub quality due to short length. It was created to drill into GSM Association standards for eSIM. I am now looking into other standards for eSIM, if there are any. It may be that GSMA owns the term outright, unsure at this point.

[edit]Here are some sources I am working with while I get to the bottom of eUICC and EID:
Authoritative
[edit]Second-hand manufacturer implementation
[edit]Third-party non-authoritative and possibly misleading
[edit]- What is the Difference between eSIM and Embedded SIM in IoT?
- What is a phone EID number explained
- What is an EID number in a phone?

EID and eSIM authorities?
[edit]Is there any other governing body that defines eSIM and "EID" besides the GSM Association? Is GMSA standard for eUICC the only applicable standard for eSIM? Do cellular network providers / operators have their own standards defining implementation / use of eSIM? Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 17:32, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
