How Do I Transfer My eSIM to a New Phone?

In most cases, travel eSIMs are tied to the specific device where they were first installed and cannot be transferred. Here is what you need to know:

  1. One-Device Policy: Most eSIM profiles are designed for a single installation. Once the QR code is scanned and the profile is active, it cannot be moved to another phone.
  2. Deleting the eSIM: If you delete the eSIM from your current phone, it is permanently deactivated. You cannot “re-scan” the same QR code on a new device.
  3. Switching Phones: If you get a new phone during your trip, you will typically need to purchase a new eSIM plan for the new device.
