Connecting you with the world on every trip

To find your eSIM number, which typically refers to the ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) of the eSIM profile, you can follow these steps depending on your device's operating system:

For iPhone:

• • Open Settings: Start by going to your iPhone's settings.
• • Select Cellular: Tap on "Cellular" to view your cellular plans.
• • Tap on Your eSIM Plan: Choose the plan that corresponds to your eSIM.
• • View ICCID: Here you will see details about your eSIM, including the ICCID number, which is the eSIM's equivalent of a SIM card number.

For Android Devices:

• • Open Settings: Access the settings menu on your Android device.
• • Select Network & Internet: This option may vary by device; look for "Connections" or similar if it's not directly visible.
• • Tap on SIM Cards: This section might also be labeled as "Mobile Network" or "Cellular Networks" depending on the device.
• • Select Your eSIM Profile: Find the eSIM profile to see details.
• • View ICCID: The ICCID for the eSIM should be listed in this section.

For Other Devices:

If you're using another type of device (like a smartwatch or tablet) that supports eSIM, the process will generally be similar:

• • Access settings related to cellular or mobile data.
• • Navigate to the section detailing your eSIM to find the ICCID.
• • file.

If your eSIM is not activating, consider these common issues and solutions:

• • Incorrect Setup: Ensure you followed all activation steps correctly, including scanning the QR code or entering details manually.
• • Compatibility Issues: Verify that your device supports eSIM and is compatible with your carrier's eSIM technology.
• • Network Problems: Check for network connectivity issues; a stable internet connection is needed for eSIM activation.
• • Activation Delays: Sometimes activation can take time. Wait a few hours and check again.
• • Carrier Restrictions: Confirm with your carrier that your account is eligible for eSIM use and there are no restrictions or pending requirements.
• • Software Updates: Ensure your device's software is up-to-date, as outdated software can cause issues with eSIM activation.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, contact your carrier's customer support for assistance.

Step 1: Ensure Device Compatibility
Make sure your device supports eSIM technology.

Step 2: Choose a Carrier and Plan
Select a carrier that offers eSIM services and choose a plan that suits your needs.

Step 3: Receive QR Code or Activation Details
Your carrier will provide you with a QR code or activation details after you’ve subscribed to an eSIM plan.

Step 4: Prepare Your Device
Ensure your device is connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network.
Make sure your device is updated to the latest software.

Step 5: Scan QR Code to Download eSIM

You may need to configure your eSIM as your primary or secondary line in the device settings.

eSIM (Embedded SIM)

Advantages:

• • No Physical SIM Card Needed: Integrated into the device, reducing the need for physical swaps.
• • Multiple Profiles: Can store multiple carrier profiles and switch between them without needing to change SIM cards.
• • Convenience for Travelers: Easy to switch to local carriers when traveling internationally without replacing the SIM card.
• • Space-Saving: Eliminates the need for a SIM card slot, allowing for slimmer and more innovative device designs.
• • Enhanced Durability: Fewer mechanical parts that can break or malfunction.

Disadvantages:

• • Carrier Support: Not all carriers support eSIM technology, which can limit your options.
• • Compatibility: Older devices may not support eSIM.
• • Device Dependency: If the device fails, transferring an eSIM to a new device can be more cumbersome than simply moving a physical SIM.

Physical SIM Card

Advantages:

• • Universality: Supported globally by nearly all mobile carriers and devices.
• • Ease of Transfer: Simple to move from one device to another, facilitating device upgrades or swaps.
• • Immediate Activation: Often can be activated more straightforwardly—just insert the SIM into a new device.
• • Privacy and Security: Removing a physical SIM can ensure no cellular data connection, which can be a security preference for some users.

Disadvantages:

• • Physical Limitations: Requires physical handling and storage, susceptible to loss or damage.
• • Single Profile: Typically, each SIM card can only hold one carrier profile.
• • Space Requirement: Requires space within the device for a SIM tray, which can limit design options.
• • Travel Inconvenience: Travelers may need to purchase and handle multiple SIM cards for international travel.
