# `bird esim orders`

## Usage

```bash
bird esim orders
```

## Description

Without an eSIM id an order provisions a new profile. With an eSIM id it adds a package. Read the returned status before treating a purchase as complete.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request.
