Activation procedure
The activation procedure is outlined in a step by step process in the
following sections.
2.1 Retrieve the ICCID
The first step is to identify and enter the ICCID code. The ICCID is available
on the top surface of the package. The ICCID can be also retrieved directly
from the device where the ST4SIM is used. To retrieve this information, the
user must access the modem through a configured terminal on the relevant COM
port. The terminal configuration is shown in the figure below.
The ICCID is displayed after entering the AT command at AT%CCID via the
terminal console as shown in the figure below.
In the example above, the ICCID is 8944477300000021070
2.2 Connect to the Truphone ® web portal to activate the eSIM profile
The second step is to connect to the Truphone ® web portal.
The user must connect to the Truphone ® web portal https://iot.truphone.com
(using Chrome ™ ) and follow the instructions provided to create a user
account if needed. Once logged-in, the user activates the ST4SIMs from the
dashboard page as shown in the screen below.

Click on “Activate SIMs”, and the next page appears inviting the user to enter
the ICCID of the eSIM to be activated.

The activation of the SIM card may take a few minutes to complete. The SIM
card status is shown on the dashboard once it is activated.

material.
2.3 Perform a network search and registration
The third step is to connect and register to a cellular network. To force the
device to search and register to a cellular network (also known as PLMN
selection), the user simply needs to reboot the device. The first time the
board registers on the network may take several minutes to find a network and
register. This may take between 15 and 20 minutes. The registration is based
on the radio environment, Truphone ® network availability and the technology
of the network being used. To speed up the network search, the user may follow
the tips that are provided on Truphone ® web portal.
