AMSTERDAM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--1GLOBAL, a technology-driven global mobile communications provider, is implementing an industry state-of-the-art iPhone eSIM subscription plan transfer solution for its longstanding mobile network services partner, KPN.
1GLOBAL's entitlement server provides instant enabling of the entire iPhone functionality, complete with Apple Push Notifications and phone number registration.
This function is built into 1GLOBAL's fully fledged eSIM software ecosystem, consisting of its own GSMA-accredited SM-DP+ and Entitlement Server platforms, used by over 55 mobile operators globally.
The Dutch mobile communications giant can now offer its customers seamless One-Click eSIM subscription transfers between iPhones with the latest 1GLOBAL solution. With just one tap, KPN customers can transfer their subscription from their previous Apple device to their new one: quickly, securely and with full retention of their existing number and data.
Industry state-of-the-art implementation: Single tap subscription transfer
The roll out represents an industry state-of-the-art implementation of One-click eSIM subscription transfer with User Authentication and GSMA certificate Validation for iOS devices on the KPN network.
With the 1GLOBAL solution, KPN customers do not need to scan a QR code or contact customer support when switching devices. Instead, 1GLOBAL's entitlement server provides instant enabling of the entire iPhone functionality, complete with Apple Push Notifications (APNS-based readiness messaging), based on device silent-authentication (EAP-AKA) and phone number registration.
1GLOBAL's One-Click solution boosts KPN customers' user experience and enables KPN to deliver on new specifications released by Apple. Instant data transfer is made possible by close alignment with the Apple team to ensure rapid rollout and secure deployment of new specifications.
Additional supported use cases include:
Physical SIM (4FF) to eSIM upgrades, including same-device transitions
Seamless re-pairing of Apple Watch with OneNumber plans
'User centricity is at the core of what we do at 1GLOBAL. We have deep experience of deploying and integrating new specifications for users of iOS devices, to make their experience as seamless as possible,' said Yousef Al Qatami, Chief Commercial Officer at 1GLOBAL. 'By working closely with Apple to quickly deploy this newly introduced specification for iPhone eSIM data transfer, 1GLOBAL can ensure that operational support for its mobile connectivity partners is always swiftly deployed.
'Subscribers of our valued and longstanding partner, KPN, can enjoy an enhanced user experience via this simple One-Click data transfer plan, which requires no additional support, downloads, or fiddly, time-consuming manual transfers, driving next-gen usability with simplicity and reliability at its core.'
