Installing eSIM

There are three different ways to install an eSIM. The e-SIM is set up for you completely automatically via a QR code, via an App or you can manually add a mobile subscription to your iPhone or iPad.

After choosing your eSIM subscription or data-only bundle, we will send you a QR code that you can easily scan with the camera of your smartphone or tablet. Your eSIM is installed automatically so you can make instant calls and use high-speed internet.

Mobile plan without a physical SIM card

An eSIM makes it possible to activate a mobile subscription without the need for a physical SIM card. It works by storing a virtual version of a SIM card in the device. This makes it possible to choose a mobile operator without having to change a SIM card.

Multiple eSIM providers at the same time

With eSIM, it is also possible to use multiple eSIM providers to use operators at the same time. This way, for example, you can use a home subscription and a foreign subscription at the same time.

Easily switch to another eSIM provider

The eSIM protocol also makes it easier to switch to another operator. Instead of having to get a new SIM card, you can change your subscription with just a few clicks or scanning a QR code.
