Disclosed herein is a technique for mitigating paging collisions in mobile devices. When a new electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) is to be provisioned on a mobile device, International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) information associated with each of the SIMs/eSIMs currently installed on the mobile device is obtained and provided to a provisioning server. In turn, the provisioning server utilizes the IMSI information to select a new eSIM associated with an IMSI that is unlikely to result in a paging collision when operated alongside the SIMs/eSIMs installed on the mobile device. The provisioning server provides the new eSIM to the mobile device, whereupon the mobile device installs the eSIM into the embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) for operation.
