Will a SIM work after I convert to an eSIM?

When you convert your physical SIM card to an eSIM (embedded SIM), your old physical SIM card will no longer work. Here's what you need to know:

  1. Deactivation of physical SIM: Once the conversion to eSIM is complete, your physical SIM card will be deactivated and cannot be used for cellular service.

  2. Transfer of service: Your mobile service, including your phone number and plan details, will be transferred to the eSIM profile on your device.

  3. No need for physical SIM: After conversion, you won't need to insert a physical SIM card into your device. The eSIM will handle all cellular connectivity.

  4. Device compatibility: Ensure your device supports eSIM technology before initiating the conversion process.

  5. Backup your data: It's recommended to back up any important data stored on your physical SIM card (e.g., contacts) before converting to eSIM.

  6. Reversibility: In most cases, you can switch back to a physical SIM if needed, but you'll need to contact your mobile carrier for assistance.

Remember to keep your old physical SIM card in a safe place until you're sure the eSIM is working correctly. If you experience any issues during or after the conversion, contact your mobile service provider for support.
