Esim abroad

Londonnirish — Sat, 26 Mar 2022 04:31:06 GMT

I have a physical sim for my uk number but would like to add an Esim for use in India. How do I go about this? Clear and basic Information on this is hard to find. Thanks

@Londonnirish what network do you want to use the eSIM with ? Is that with EE or a different network? If it’s a different network does that network support eSIM ? and if it’s a different network you’ll be better off asking that network for help with that.

Sorry for saying that but you say you use a physical SIM card and you want to use your eSIM in Indian, you can’t use eSIM with EE PAYG so I have to assume that you want to use it with a different network.

Hi @Londonnirish

As long as the device is unlocked you can request an eSIM from the other network. This will not affect your EE SIM card as they are different providers.

@Londonnirish Then you’ll need to request this from them, You might want to read THIS

You’ll need a Airtel sim first from them so you can migrate that sim information to the eSim.

Hi @vijoysingh.

I would love to help with this.

Do you wish to add an international eSIM or do you want to move your UK number from a physical SIM to an eSIM?

Speak soon,
