E-SIM can be easily activated in your phone sitting at home.
An e-SIM is considered more secure than a physical SIM, as it cannot be removed or stolen if the phone falls into the wrong hands. Therefore, if you want to replace your phone's physical SIM with an e-SIM, you don't need to visit a store; you can easily do it from your phone. Let's learn in detail how to upgrade your phone's e-SIM from home.
How to activate e-SIM in the phone:
To activate eSIM in your phone, first you have to go to the network operator's app on your phone.
For example, if my iPhone has Airtel network then its app was opened.
Scroll down in the app and select Upgrade to eSIM. (Almost all network operators' apps offer a similar option.)
Now on clicking Upgrade to eSIM, new options will open on the screen.
To get e-SIM, first of all you have to enter your mobile number.
Now you have to click on Get e-SIM and select for existing phone or for other phone.
You have to enter the 32 digit EID number of the phone you have selected.
If you don't know your phone's EID number and want to find it, here's the complete process. How to find the EID number:
To search the EID number, first you have to go to the phone's settings.
After going to the settings of your phone, you have to click on General.
After clicking on General, you have to go to About.
After clicking on About, you will see the EID number of the phone when you scroll down.
Now copy this EID number from here and then paste it at that location in the network provider's app.
After entering the EID number, you have to click on Get OTP, through which you will receive OTP on your mobile number.
After entering the OTP received on your phone, the process of getting e-SIM will be completed.
The e-SIM will be activated on your phone within two hours. It's important to note that the physical SIM will also be deactivated simultaneously.
The process of getting or activating e-SIM in your phone is quite easy and you do not need to go anywhere for this.
