Abstract
A communication device, method and computer program product support concurrently receiving an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) profile and non-eSIM digital content from separate servers to enable service from a selected carrier. The communication device receives carrier destination data via one of a user interface device, an image capturing device, a removable data storage device, and a network interface of a communication device. The communication device requests download of the eSIM profile associated with a selected carrier from a subscription or carrier server based on the identified carrier destination. While receiving and installing the eSIM profile in an eSIM, the communication device concurrently receives, via the network interface, digital content associated with the selected carrier and a configuration of the communication device from a configuration manager hosted on a configuration server. The digital content enables functionality via the selected carrier.
