What you need to know about eSIM
- This technology uses an already embedded chip in the device, e.g., a smartphone or watch, replacing the traditional SIM card. In addition to the improved user experience, eSIM provides an additional layer of security and reliability; great things are yet to be expected from it.
- eSIM has the same function as a classic SIM card - the difference is how to activate it. You need to load the Telekom mobile network eSIM profile on a device that supports eSIM technology. eSIM downloads your profile, which contains the data by which we recognize you as our user.
- To download the eSIM profile, you scan the activation QR code that you received from us with your device. You can find an option to download an eSIM profile in your device settings. Remember that the device (often a phone) from which you will scan the QR activation code must be connected to the Internet via a WiFi network.
- The procedure for downloading an eSIM profile may differ slightly depending on the manufacturer and model of the device. Therefore, if necessary, check the user manual of your device. Below are instructions for devices from our offer, which we have prepared for you.
- Multiple eSIM profiles can be loaded on the device simultaneously, but only one can be active at the moment (registered on the Telekom mobile network).
Whether you are a new or existing user of the Telekom mobile network, you can get your eSIM from us.
The only condition: you must have a device that supports eSIM technology, and we have it for you!
Contact us, and we will finalize everything together. Activation is quick and easy.
