What is an activation voucher or activation code for Consumer solution?
An activation voucher or activation code is usually a QR code, supplied by the operator, which can
be used by the end user to download a subscription Profile to a Consumer device.
How is this activation voucher used to download a subscription Profile?
After reading the QR code using its camera and a supporting application, the device is able to
connect to the SM-DP+ named in the voucher and allows the eUICC to initiate a Profile download.
The download will be made for the specific eUICC of the device. The activation voucher can be
printed on a piece of paper, sent to the customer by email (after completing the activation
process), or displayed on a screen (e.g. at the Point of Sale). All these options are viable,
depending on the desired customer experience.
Who is the owner of the eUICC?
The eUICC, if embedded in the device, is part of the device and will thus be owned by the deviceowner.
However, like the main device operating system, the eUICC firmware is licensed to the
subscriber by various parties.
Who is the owner of the Profile?
eSIM allows the operator to download and manage their Profiles containing the subscription
credentials and potentially some applications. The operator is the owner of the Profile and licenses
its use to the subscriber.
