minus-squareDreamlandLividity@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-23 months agoI am not an expert but I don’t think a modem has anything to do with registering the e-sim. Even if it did, the hard part is probably getting the e-sim data/keys to be registered, not the uploading it to the e-sim chip itself.
