Activate an eSIM on a corporate-owned Android device

What changed

Turn on Preview new device view , select the device, then select Activate eSIM and enter the carrier activation code. Intune sends the request without first blocking it based on reported eSIM slot capacity and surfaces errors returned by Google.

Why it matters

Device-management changes can affect policy processing, reporting, app delivery or support workflows across managed endpoints.

Known limitations

• Availability, prerequisites and rollout scope remain authoritative in the linked Microsoft documentation.

Now check

• Confirm supported Android version, carrier URL and corporate-owned scope
• Pilot activation and wipe with eSIM preservation
• Document when helpdesk may remove an eSIM during retirement
