Physical SIM cards are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Nowadays, you don’t have to use SIM trays and makeshift tools like paperclips just to swap out a card. With an eSIM, everything happens digitally.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to add eSIMs to iPhones and share handy tips to make the switch smooth and stress-free.
An embedded SIM is a digital version of a SIM card that’s built straight into your iPhone. Instead of inserting a tiny card, you can activate your mobile plan directly from your device in just a few taps. You can store multiple eSIM profiles, switch between plans easily and set up mobile connectivity without visiting a store or handling any hardware.
eSIMs are especially handy when you’re travelling or managing personal and professional mobile numbers. Since everything is digital, there’s no physical card to lose, damage or steal. And if you no longer need the plan, you can simply uninstall the eSIM with just a few taps.
Follow these simple steps to get started in minutes:
Step 1: Pick your plan
Head to the Telsim eSim shop, explore our prepaid eSIM plans and select the one that suits your needs. Add it to your cart.
Step 2: Proceed to checkout
Confirm your chosen eSIM and complete your payment.
Step 3: Check your inbox
You’ll receive a confirmation email with everything you need to activate your eSIM.
Step 4: Scan your unique QR code
After activation, you’ll receive a QR code containing all the info your device needs to get set up. Open it with your iPhone’s camera or QR scanner.
Step 5: Enjoy your mobile data
Follow the prompts on your screen to finalise the setup and start using your eSIM.

Most iPhones support dual SIM functionality, allowing you to use a physical SIM alongside an eSIM. On iPhone 13 models and later, you can run two active eSIMs at the same time. Your device can store multiple eSIM profiles (up to eight, depending on the model), but only two can be active simultaneously. Since the exact number can vary, it’s best to check your iPhone’s specifications to ensure the most accurate info.
Consider these factors if you want the best fit for your lifestyle, budget and mobile needs:
