Transfer a line of service to a replacement eUICC device:

POST /devices/actions/eidDeviceSwap

Transfers the line of service for a 4G eUICC device to another device to correspond with hardware changes, such as swapping out a device. All current device information is transferred to the new device, including the MDN, service plan, and usage history. ThingSpace creates a new line of service for the replaced (swapped out) device and notifies the SMSR system of the changes.

NOTE: This API method requires eUICC devices that can accept downloadable profiles and your SM-SR must be integrated with the Verizon SM-DP.

Uses and Requirements

The replacement device (the one being swapped in) can be a new device or one that already has an active line of service. If the device has an active line of service, that line will be deactivated before the line of service from the swapped out device is assigned.

ThingSpace sends three callback message when the changes have been completed:

  • ChangeDeviceState Deactivation when the original ICCID is deactivated
  • ChangeDeviceIdentifer when the original MDN is transferred to the newly installed device
  • GoToState when the new line of service is activated on the swapped-out device

The first two callbacks are returned by the Carrier Service and the third one by the State Service. You must register to receive both types of callbacks to get all of these messages.

Device usage history stays with the MDN, so it will transfer from the original device to the new device.

The EUICC profile status stays with the ICCID, so the profile status of the original device will not transfer to the new device. You may need to download a profile to the new device.
