1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions to enable an efficient transition of multiple mobile devices from a second wireless telecommunication network to a first wireless telecommunication network, which, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, cause the system to:
receive a request from a first mobile device among the multiple mobile devices operating on the second wireless telecommunication network to enable the first mobile device and a second mobile device to operate on the first wireless telecommunication network,
wherein the first mobile device includes a first electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) number and the second mobile device includes a second, different eSIM number, and
wherein the request includes an address associated with the second mobile device and a second phone number associated with the second mobile device;
obtain a first International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) associated with the first mobile device and the first eSIM number;
generate a message including a uniform resource locator (URL) link uniquely associated with the second phone number;
send the message to the address associated with the second mobile device;
receive a selection message associated with selection of the URL link;
upon receiving the selection message, obtain from the second mobile device a second IMEI associated with the second mobile device and the second eSIM number; and
based on the first IMEI, the first eSIM number, the second IMEI, and the second eSIM number, enable the first mobile device and the second mobile device to be authorized to operate on the first wireless telecommunication network and no longer to be authorized on the second wireless telecommunications network.
