Prerequisites:

To order and activate a digital eSIM, you must meet the following criteria.


  • You have an eSIM-enabled device. Do I own an eSIM-compatible device?
  • You have installed the latest software version on your device.
  • You are connected to the Internet. (WLAN/mobile hotspot/mobile radio)
  • Your smartphone does not have a SIM lock. (Provider lock)
  • To activate and download the eSIM profile, simply scan the QR code sent to you by e-mail with your device. Alternatively, you can also activate the eSIM manually.
  • You have a valid ID document for digital personal identification. (Why do I need to perform verification?)
