Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between eSIM and traditional SIM cards?

A traditional or physical SIM card is a detachable chip that you place into your device to access a mobile network. In contrast, an eSIM is built directly into the device during production, removing the necessity for a traditional SIM card.

What are the benefits of using an eSIM?

eSIMs offer several advantages! They eliminate the need to swap physical SIM cards, provide the flexibility to switch between carriers effortlessly, and allow for quick setup and activation.

How many eSIMs can I have on my device?

You can store eight or more eSIMs on most iOS devices. The iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max to iPhone 14 series can support one eSIM and one physical SIM, which means you can use an eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series produced by US can use 2 eSIMs at the same time.

Generally, Android devices permit 5-7 eSIM profiles, but only one can be active simultaneously.

How do I activate my Klook eSIM?
