eSIM?

Starting June 1st, 2025, our prepaid plans will also be available as eSIMs! Simple, digital, and plastic-free – mobile connectivity has never been more flexible

What is an eSIM?

The eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM chip that is built directly into your smartphone
There’s no need to insert a physical SIM card – instead, you’ll receive a QR code to scan with your smartphone to activate your eSIM.
Please note: The eSIM is not active immediately. To activate it, you’ll need to complete a digital identity verification using your ID document. Your plan becomes usable only after this step
