I can see that your opinion is that it is not an important issue because it is supposed not to affect too many people. But the fact is that at least two operators, one from Sweden and another one from Pakistan provide (compliant) SIMs with non-fully populated EFad. One new SIM from a MVNO that came to my hands a few weeks ago was SIM and not USIM (although EFad was fully populated). 3G phones do work with SIMs, and if the operator can buy slightly cheaper cards, it might use them. And there are many areas in the world where you just have 2G+EDGE coverage, so the operator does not really need to provide USIM. So they will provide SIMs, and some of them might no have full EFad. So I see your point, but it is not backed by numbers, and I have the feeling that this *might* affect more users than expected, especially if we think of Asia or Africa. > Fallback to manual user provisioning and give the user a list to choose > from. I think we can make life easier for many users if we provide a fail-safe mechanism that will be triggered only for non-fully-populated EFad and that in that case will work in most, if not all, the cases. I do not say that the patch I sent first would be the solution, we can think a different way of solving this.
