Collie eSim Questions

Router
1

I plan to run this router to run a security syystem on a remote shipping container. The gl.inet esims have been out of stock for sometime now:
If i use another aftermarket esim card with an esim service like esim.io I can provision the card on my phone and install it in the router. What I am wondering is will I be able to add data to the esim remotely via the esim.io web portal or android app? My shipping container is a 2 hour drive away…

Are there any specific esim cards I should use or avoid?

Thanks

I doubt you will be able to update the eSIM remotely; this should be something that requires specific software within the device.

Hi

If you’ve already installed the esim.io profile onto the physical eSIM card, and you’re only performing actions like renewing the plan/ adding more data (rather than writing a new profile or switching profiles), then yes—no physical access is required.

Additionally, if the third-party physical eSIM card you purchased supports the eUICC, it can likely work with the router’s built-in eSIM management feature:

This would allow a certain level of remote eSIM management via GoodCloud.
However, if this is your only internet source, it may be somewhat risky.
