Frequently Asked Questions
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a virtual SIM card built right into your phone. Unlike physical SIMs, you don’t need to insert or remove a physical SIM card. Just download a plan digitally and connect. It’s an innovative and seamless way to stay connected, especially if you’re looking for a travel eSIM or switching between countries.
eSIM can be transferred only before installation; once installed, the same eSIM cannot be installed on another device.
