One major development in the telecommunications industry is the introduction of eSIM technology, which allows smartphones and tablets to connect to cellular networks without the need for a physical SIM card. This innovation has opened up new possibilities for device manufacturers and consumers alike, providing greater flexibility and convenience in managing mobile networks. As eSIM technology continues to evolve, an increasing number of smartphone and tablet models are becoming eSIM-compatible, offering users the option to switch between different carriers without the hassle of physically swapping SIM cards.

The latest smartphone models from leading manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, and Google are now incorporating eSIM capabilities. Apple’s iPhone 12 series, for instance, supports eSIM functionality, unlocking a world of possibilities for users who want to easily switch between carriers or have separate personal and work phone lines on the same device. Likewise, Samsung’s Galaxy S21 and Google’s Pixel 5 also feature eSIM compatibility, giving consumers more freedom and flexibility in choosing their mobile network providers. Beyond smartphones, eSIM technology is also being adopted by tablet models such as the iPad Pro, enabling users to connect to cellular networks without the need for physical SIM cards.
• Apple’s iPad Pro is one of the latest tablet models to support eSIM technology, allowing users to enjoy cellular connectivity without the hassle of inserting a physical SIM card.
• Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7 and Google’s Pixel Slate are also among the eSIM-compatible tablets available in the market, providing users with more options for connecting to mobile networks.
• In addition to these popular brands, other manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and OnePlus are also integrating eSIM capabilities into their devices, expanding the range of choices for consumers.
• The adoption of eSIM technology is not limited to smartphones and tablets. Other IoT devices such as smartwatches and fitness trackers are also starting to incorporate this feature, enabling seamless connectivity on-the-go.
• With eSIM compatibility becoming increasingly common in new device releases, it is important for consumers to check whether their preferred smartphone or tablet model supports this technology before making a purchase.
• Switching between carriers using an eSIM-enabled device is typically done through software settings or dedicated apps provided by mobile network providers. This process eliminates the need for physically swapping SIM cards and simplifies the switching process for users.
Overall, the integration of eSIM technology into smartphones and tablets offers numerous benefits for both manufacturers and consumers. It provides greater flexibility in choosing mobile network providers while eliminating logistical challenges associated with physical SIM cards. As more device models become compatible with eSIMs, users can expect even more convenience in managing their mobile networks.

eSIM-Compatible Devices: An Overview of the Latest Smartphone and Tablet Models

How can I reinstall a deleted eSIM or reinstall an existing eSIM in my new phone?

If you delete your eSIM from YOverse or lose your device, you cannot reinstall it, so if you plan to buy another plan at a later date, you will need to pay the activation fee of $0.70 Euro (which covers your eSIM for 1 year) again and reinstall a new eSIM.

How can I delete an eSIM from my phone?

If you wish, you can manually remove your eSIM. To remove your eSIM follow these steps:

Go to Settings

  • Tap Mobile data or Mobile data

    • Tap your mobile plan

    • Tap “Remove mobile plan”

If you remove your eSIM you will no longer be able to connect through this line. Any contacts you have associated with this line will default to your preferred line.

How can I allow data switching between my plans? [Advanced users]

To allow your phone to automatically select which SIM to use data from based on coverage and availability, turn on “Allow mobile data switching” in your settings. Note that if you are roaming and only want to use your YOverse eSIM or data, you should then make sure that “Allow mobile data switching” is turned off. If “Allow mobile data switching” is turned on, your phone will automatically use data from both phone plans, depending on which network is strongest at any given moment. This option is best for people who want to stay connected no matter what. There is no way to know which plan is being used at any given time, however, so this option can consume data quickly if you are not aware of it. To turn on Allow mobile data switching, follow these steps (steps may vary depending on phone model):

  • Go to Settings

  • Tap either Cellular or Mobile Data.

  • Tap Mobile Data.

    • Turn on Allow Mobile Data Switching

Your data line automatically switches for the duration of your call. Mobile data switching will not work if you are currently roaming and both eSIMs are not set to allow data roaming. Check with your provider for availability and to find out if additional charges apply.

How do I see how much data is left on my plan?

You are able to see it in the application in the “My eSIM” bubble; click on the data plan under “Active Data Plans” to view its remaining data. Once your data runs out, you will no longer have an internet connection without Wi-Fi.
