well, nothing yet as my new one hasn’t been built yet 🙂

The question was rather whether I can simply convert one of my 3 extra SIMs to an eSIM and then use it in the BMW - or do I need this extra 10.- subscription

AND: whether it’s now through a business or just with private subscriptions

Both Swisscom and BMW Switzerland are silent on this. They just want to wait it out. I’m currently pursuing legal action against both companies for selling something that doesn’t work and not caring to make it work.

Yes. The service is available but it doesn’t work. In other words, you cannot set it up/activate it with a Swisscom business subscription.

Swisscom’s statement is that the BMW personal eSIM only works with private subscriptions.

The fact that it doesn’t work with business subscriptions means it works as designed.

It would of course be very desirable if this finally worked with business subscriptions and all customers could use it.

According to the comments, there is a clear customer need here.

The BMW Personal eSIM is currently not available for Geschäftskunden subscriptions. It was planned to implement this in 2024. However, the planning had to be adjusted so that implementation this year is no longer realistic. The BMW Personal eSIM can currently only be used with private customer subscriptions.

Interesting…

I have a inOne KMU mobile premium and the Cars&Mobilities option activated. (The extra CHF 10 costs…)

Telephoning in the BMW via eSIM works - only with the data connection is it a thing, works, doesn’t work, works, doesn’t work again, mostly not…

There is also the eSIM reader, but it works even worse! Interestingly, telephony AND data work perfectly with Sunrise and the reader…

Should the SME be seen as a private subscription or is the private eSIM something independent of Cars&Mobilities?

Totally unacceptable for me. I will report this to BMW Switzerland. Swisscom probably earns more from private subscriptions than from business subscriptions and sets its priorities accordingly.

inOne or inOne SME Mobile are based on the same “subscription family”. The BMW Personal eSIM works for both. The MultiDevice option for the BMW Personal eSIM is independent of the other MultiDevice options.

Oke - although functioning is an exaggeration here… It’s nice that Swisscom has a cooperation with BMW and such - it’s just of no use if it doesn’t work and with others (Sunrise) that don’t have one, it works without any problems…

I have a Natel Go subscription via my employer and despite the fact that I’ve read about these subscriptions to be supported sometime in 2024, still being told that I cannot have it. Really disappointed.
