Hello, I bought the P-L496G-CELL02 Board. Can somebody please tell me where I can find the Batch Identification Code (BIC) to registrate the e-sim on EMnify.

I think you need to retrieve the sim data using modem at command. However if the sim is too old, some sim usually have deadline for activation.

If somebody is also searching for an answer, here is a How To i got from the ST-Customer-Support

I am stacked at the first steps, please someone help me how to activate the eSIM.

It's the log.

How to config to use eSIM:

S1. assume you have programmed the firmware like "l496_bg96_socket_v520.bin", as mentioned in the file "How to enable SIM MFF2 connectivity with P-L496G-CELL02.txt"

S2. using terminal application like tera term, config and open the com port;

S3. push the black button to reset P-L496G-CeLL02;

then the following will be shown in seconds

=============================
X-CUBE-CELLULAR
Version: V5.2.0
=============================
Select the application to run:

1: Setup configuration Menu
2: FAQ display
3: Modem power on (without application)

S4. type in "1<CR>"

then the following will be shown:

--------------------------------
Setup configuration Menu
--------------------------------
Select the action to process:

0: Quit
1: Date/Time setting (RTC)
2: Configuration: Cellular Service
3: Configuration: Echoclt
4: Configuration: Grovestreams
5: Configuration: Ping
8: Status of above configurations
9: Erase all FEEPROM configurations (restore to DEFAULT)

S5: type in "2<CR>", then the following is shown:

------------------------------------
Cellular Service configuration Menu
------------------------------------
c : update configuration by console and store it in FEEPROM
e : erase the configuration stored in FEEPROM (restore to DEFAULT)
l : list current configuration
h : help
q : quit

S6: type in "c<CR>", 

version (7):

S8: type in "7<CR>"

Enter Sim Slot List(0: scoket /1: embedded sim)..............:

S9: select eSIM, you need type in "1<CR>"

Enter APN .................:

S10: type in "EM". after that , click <CR> and use default setting.

Hello,

If you have purchased the P-L496G-CELL02 Board and you are looking for the Batch Identification Code (BIC) to register the e-sim on EMnify, you can try looking for the BIC on the packaging or the label that came with the board.

If you are unable to find the BIC on the packaging or the label, you can contact the manufacturer or the seller of the board and ask for assistance in finding the BIC.

Once you have the BIC, you can use it to register the e-sim on EMnify. If you are still having trouble finding the BIC, please let us know and we can try to assist you further.

I hope this information help,

[kAmin.1]

Thank you for your reply,

Yes, I have bought P-L496G-CELL02 Board and I want to use its eSIM. I followed many instructions and tutorials but I couldn't activate it. Also, I found this link in which your colleague is saying that eSIM is no more possible on this board. Can you please confirm that, or let me know the steps to activate it?
