US 2026/0101173 A1 · AUTO ESIM DELETION ON MOBILE DEVICES

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for deletion of certain eSIMs in order to reduce waste and improve performance of a network and mobile devices, for example. In embodiments, it is determined an eSIM is not active or used, and/or cannot be authenticated. Based on such determinations, the eSIM can be remotely deleted from the mobile device, for example by causing a push notification to be received at the mobile device. In some cases, an eSIM is deleted from a phone or tablet, or from a vehicle or other device. The user or operator of the mobile device is not required to interact with the notification in order for it to direct the deletion of an eSIM, in embodiments.

A system for remotely causing deletion of a first embedded Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) from a first mobile device, the system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more computer-readable media storing computer-usable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
identify the first mobile device including the first eSIM;
determine that the first eSIM is not authenticated;
determine that the first eSIM is not active based on identifying a time period during which the first eSIM has not attempted to connect to a network;
and
cause a communication to be sent to the first mobile device, wherein the communication triggers the first mobile device to delete the first eSIM from the first mobile device.
