On your iPhone, you can store eight or more eSIMs, which will be there whenever you need them. You can have two eSIMs active on supported iPhone models at the same time. This could, for example, include one eSIM for your home and another eSIM for the place you’re visiting. You can swap which of your stored eSIMs are active simply by changing your selections in Settings. This might be helpful if you travel regularly to the same places.

Yes. If you have a Dual SIM phone, you can use an eSIM alongside a physical SIM. This means you can have 2 different plans and phone numbers, even on different networks.
If you’re using Dual SIM, you’ll need to set one as your default. This means you can only receive one call at a time, and any missed calls will go to your voicemail on the relevant number.
If you were part of our eSIM trial, you can request an eSIM replacement by getting in touch. When we process your replacement eSIM request, your physical SIM will be disconnected, and you’ll need to wait for your new eSIM to arrive.
This means you could go a couple of days without service.
QR stands for quick response. Most phone cameras have a built-in QR code reader, so just scan your code when you set up your phone.

Unfortunately, we can’t set up in eSIM in our stores at the moment. Please contact us and we’ll see if we can help.
Get in touch, we’ll set you up with a new one.
If you’re getting a new device, you’ll need a new SIM. Check if your new device is eSIM compatible. If it is, great – you can order a new eSIM.
If it isn’t, you’ll need to request a new physical SIM.
Before you return your device to get it repaired or replaced, there’s a few things you’ll need to do.
First, make sure you request a replacement eSIM or physical SIM so you can keep using your number in another device.
Once you’ve done that, remove your eSIM from your device and follow the instructions on our repairing your device page.
If you can’t remove your eSIM due to technical problems with your device, that’s OK. Contact us and we’ll make sure your info is protected.
