In step S101, after a user initiates an eSIM number-carrying network switching request, an eSIM server to be switched to an operator acquires a first request for downloading a new eSIM sent by an eSIM terminal, where the first request carries a unique identity of the eSIM terminal.
When a user needs to transfer an eSIM card number of the user from a current operator (hereinafter, referred to as operator A) to an operator to be transferred (hereinafter, referred to as operator B), a number portability request is initiated to a service subscription server (hereinafter, referred to as service subscription server A) of the current operator, the mobile phone number of the user (namely, the mobile phone number of the current eSIM) can be carried in the number portability request, the service subscription server A firstly verifies the identity of the user, inquires a unique identity (eUICC ID, hereinafter, referred to as EID) corresponding to the mobile phone number of the user after the verification is passed to the eSIM server (hereinafter, referred to as eSIM server A) of the current operator, and then sends the mobile phone number and the corresponding EID to a number portability database NPDB to be used as information for number portability.
After receiving the notification of number portability, the eSIM terminal sends a request for downloading new eSIM to an eSIM server (hereinafter referred to as an eSIM server B) to be ported to an operator, and the request carries the EID, and after receiving the request, the eSIM server B acquires a mobile phone number according to the EID, thereby generating the new eSIM.
It can be understood that the number portability database NPDB is responsible for storing data such as subscriber number attribution, attribute, home location register, etc., and the number portability database in this embodiment may be composed of two parts, the NPDB of operator a and the NPDB of operator B, and the NPDB interworking between different operators, where the NPDB of operator a is managed by the NPDB server a, the NPDB of operator B is managed by the NPDB server B, and the NPDB server a (or the NPDB server B) is responsible for storing data such as home network roll-out, other network roll-in subscriber number attribution, attribute, home location register, etc. In this embodiment, the method and the device are mainly used for recording the unique identity EID of the outgoing or incoming user mobile phone number and the user eSIM terminal, and it can be understood that the unique identity of this embodiment is an eUICC ID and a globally unique physical identity of an embedded UICC.
In step S102, the eSIM server to be ported to the operator acquires a phone number of an original eSIM based on the unique identity of the eSIM terminal, and generates a new eSIM associated with the phone number of the original eSIM.
Further, the eSIM server to be transferred to the operator acquires the mobile phone number of the original eSIM based on the unique identity of the eSIM terminal, including the following steps:

and the eSIM server to be transferred into the operator acquires the mobile phone number of the original eSIM sent by the service subscription server of the operator to be transferred.
In this embodiment, an eSIM server B requests an eSIM subscription server B to acquire a user mobile phone number, the service subscription server B issues a request to an NPDB server B, the request also carries an EID of the eSIM terminal, the NPDB server B searches for a user mobile phone number associated with the eSIM terminal according to the EID, and then returns the user mobile phone number to the service subscription server B, and the service subscription server B returns the acquired user mobile phone number to the eSIM server B. The EID stored in the NPDB server B and the associated mobile phone number of the user are synchronized by the NPDB server a, which has been explained in the above description of the NPDB, and will not be described herein again.
In step S103, the eSIM server of the to-be-switched operator sends the new eSIM to the eSIM terminal, so that the eSIM terminal downloads the new eSIM and then switches to the to-be-switched operator network.
In this embodiment, after the user initiates the number portability process, the operator can quickly complete the generation of the new eSIM through the EID and the mobile phone number of the interactive eSIM terminal, and the conversion of the current eSIM mobile phone number, compared with the current SIM entity card number portability process that the user needs to complete the application of the new card and the card making process when going to business, the user can efficiently complete the number portability process of the eSIM, and the user can quickly download the new card and transfer to other operator networks without going to business halls for SIM card reading and writing operations in the whole process, thereby greatly improving the user experience and reducing the working pressure of business halls.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the eSIM discovery server is responsible for maintaining and storing the eSIM server addresses of all operators, so that the terminal devices thereof can write the eSIM cards of all operators.
In step S202, the eSIM terminal downloads the new eSIM and transfers the new eSIM to the network of the to-be-transferred operator.
It should be noted that before the eSIM terminal completes the writing of the eSIM (card), the data used by the eSIM terminal network interaction in the entire network switching process still goes through the network of the operator a (belonging to the flow-free service), and after the eSIM of the operator B is written, the eSIM card of the original operator a is automatically invalidated.

Specifically, with reference to the above embodiment, first, an eSIM terminal sends a first request for downloading a new eSIM to an eSIM server B of an operator B, where the first request carries an EID of the eSIM terminal, then the eSIM server B sends a second request carrying the EID of the eSIM terminal to a service subscription server B of the operator B after receiving the first request, and after receiving the second request, the service subscription server B obtains, from a number portability database, a mobile phone number of an original eSIM associated with the unique identity of the eSIM terminal based on the obtained unique identity of the eSIM terminal.
Further, before the service subscription server of the current operator sends the mobile phone number of the original eSIM and the unique identity of the eSIM terminal thereof to the number portability database (i.e., step S301), the method further includes the following steps:
and the service subscription server of the original operator sends a third request for inquiring the unique identity of the eSIM terminal corresponding to the mobile phone number of the original eSIM to the eSIM server of the original operator, so that the eSIM server of the original operator returns the unique identity of the eSIM terminal to the service subscription server of the original operator after receiving the third request. Further, the method further comprises the steps of:
