BG95-M3 eSIM Functionality

I am trying to get the eSIM running on a BG95-M3 module, but it seems the documentation is scarce on how to get it working.

I found the following guide https://forums.quectel.com/uploads/short-url/aCFNp1v9fRZtWU9mucGbJy3N0rq.pdf , although I don’t see the BG95 mentioned in there.

On my device, I don’t have a physical SIM fitted. If I run

AT+QCFG=“sim/onchip”

It responds with +QCFG: “sim/onchip”,0

0 Meaning chip sim disabled.

Then

AT+QCFG=“sim/onchip”,1

OK

+QSIMSTAT: 1,1

+CPIN: READY

+QUSIM: 1

AT+QCFG=“sim/onchip”

+QCFG: “sim/onchip”,1

OK

So it activates the SIM from what I can see. But AT+CCID/AT+QCCID gives an error, it seems like this is expected as no eSIM is loaded so fair enough.

(now trying to follow guide)

It seems like it is expected for AT+QESIM to return something, however I get ERROR

I think I need to run AT+QESIM=“add_profile”

Elsewhere I found I need to run a command similar to

AT+QESIM=“URL”, “1234567890” (I have a correct url and number for an eSIM) but this also gives an error.

I believe I am running the correct firmware for this modem, an help?

If you want to run “QESIM” command on BG95 you need the special version,because the common version is not supported.

Hi Mikey

Thank you for the response, where can I get the special FW version that will enable this functionality?

Sorry,no version is available at the moment.
