According to the product page, it features "Bootstrap connectivity profile provided by a trusted partner".

Application note AN5740 says that it applies to ST4SIM-300M (https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_note/an5740-st4sim-with-truphone-connectivity--activation-procedure-stmicroelectronics.pdf).
At time of writing ST4SI3M004600HFW, appears to be the only instance of ST4SIM-300M available.
So it sounds like the activation instructions in AN5740 should apply to ST4SI3M004600HFW.
Those instructions rely on reading the ICCID and feeding it to Truphone.

However, the eSIMs that we (and other users) encounter have ICCIDs which are neither unique nor recognised by Truphone (https://community.st.com/interface-and-connectivity-ics-52/st4sim-300m-getting-the-same-iccid-162326).

Questions:
- Does AN5740 apply to ST4SI3M004600HFW?
- Is there a version of the chip that does come with a bootstrap loaded?
- If there is no bootstrap on any version of ST4SIM-300M, how is the community loading profiles? IPAd?

Hi ​@JoelF,

 

The ST4SI3M004600HFW is a virgin ST4SIM-300 part.

There is no pre-loaded profile on this version.

The offer with pre load profile is expected by Q4 2026.

 

With this part, you will need to configure your eIM and have an alternate internet access to download a profile on the product.

 

Best Regards,

 

Benjamin
