E-Sims

[TheBucktoothedGirlFromLuxembourg]

Could someone please explain E-sims to me? Can the same sim be used in two countries?

An E-sim is a sim that can be downloaded to the phone rather than physically having one in there.
Or you can have an E-Sim & a physical sim to make use of 2 lines (work & personal for example)

Works exactly the same way as a physical SIM card, so yes you can use it in other countries, only downside is if you ever reset your phone you lose the sim & have to redownload it again or get a QR code from your Sim provider

Oh sorry, when you say "same sim used in 2 countries" I thought you meant can it be used in another country if you went from the UK abroad for example!

Only One person can make use of an ESIM at a time, exactly the same as a physical sim, it cannot be used in 2 different devices by 2 different users!

@Scoleah sorry I want to download an e-sim for my phone to use in the USA and then in Canada. Is that possible?

Thank you for answering and explaining.

Ah ok.

Well you can either have your personal number & turn it into an E-sim and use the roaming feature on your mobile plan (if you have one included, otherwise it can work out expensive with a UK provider)

From googling though, it does say you can buy an eSIM on arrival to benefit from this when you land in the USA (it would have its own number though)

This link here Gives lots of info on esims and costs etc!

Thank you for that link. It's just what I needed.

That's no problem at all!
I hope you have a great time when you go!
