What is an eSIM

An eSIM, short for 'embedded Subscriber Identity Module,' is a type of SIM card that is built into a device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch. Unlike a traditional SIM card, which is a physical card that needs to be inserted into a device's SIM slot, an eSIM is embedded directly into the device's hardware.

How does eSIM work

Using an eSIM, you can easily activate a carrier's ( Lycamobile) profile directly from your device without the need to physically visit a carrier (Lycamobile) store or wait for a SIM card to arrive by mail. Here's how it works:

1. First, you need to check if your device is compatible with eSIM.
2. Next, you can order an eSIM and plan from your carrier. They will send you an email with a QR code that you can scan using the device you want to install the eSIM on. Simply follow the exact instructions to activate the eSIM with the plan you chose as they may vary as per device and carrier type.
