About this tag
The tag eid on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Embedded Identity Document (EID) used in eSIM provisioning on Windows devices. Recent threads focus on Microsoft retiring the Mobile Plans app and shifting eSIM purchase and provisioning to carrier websites and Windows Settings. In this new model, Windows manages secure provisioning and mediates device-identifier consent, including the EID and IMEI, during activation. The content highlights how carriers handle checkout while Windows acts as the provisioning surface, with the EID playing a key role in device identification and profile installation. This tag is relevant for users of cellular-capable Windows laptops and tablets.
