Ask HN: Software Only ESIM?

2 points by fuckgoogleplay ↗ HN
Hi. I need to receive several thousands of SMS to several thousand of numbers and the devices on the market to help with this are pretty expensive and buggy (I'm told).

Is there a software-only eSIM implementation, which could be used together with an SDR to put 100+ sims online (ideally several thousand) at the same time to receive incoming text messages? Thanks

What's your use case? Normally one would go through an aggregator to avoid all the complexities.

we need to receive about 50k sms messages per day. We have a deal with a couple MVNO's where they give us wholesale prices on physical sim cards, but putting them into sms gateways takes a ton of time and the devices are expensive

Not in the open source space.

Rohde & Schwarz might have a solution in their CMW product line. Expect to pay a couple million dollars.
