How eSIM works

An eSIM is an electronic SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan from a carrier without needing a physical SIM card. You can add, remove, or change networks and data plans instantly. The SIM Profile is delivered to the device over the air (OTA) by scanning a QR Code.

An eSIM profile is a type of data file that contains all the information necessary to connect your device to a mobile network. This includes your mobile number, your account details, and other settings.

• Connect to the fastest 4G LTE/3G cellular data networks
• No SIM Cards or contracts required
• Switch between the home carrier and other networks instantly
• Flexibility to activate the data you need and keep costs under control

If you are having difficulty downloading your eSIM, ensure that you are connected to the internet and try again. Please contact customer service if you continue to have trouble.
