Overview
If we are providing you with an eSIM for your phone then we can offer Remote Deployment, sending the digital eSIM directly to your phone handset, you'll get a pop-up on your phone asking "Do you want to install this new eSIM?" It's a quick and convenient way to get up and running quickly, without need to scan QR codes or type in complicated PIN codes, and is better for our environment (no plastic SIM, no transport costs and CO2 emissions).
What we need: EID
All you need to do is tell us your EID on your phone, and we'll Remotely Deploy your eSIM to you.
