- Multiple lines on one device: The user can add up to 8 lines on the same phone and use two lines at the same time, depending on the device's capabilities.
- Environmentally friendly: It contributes to reducing the use of plastic materials, making it a more sustainable option.

3. How can you purchase and activate eSIM?

4. How can new customers change their SIM to eSIM?
Answer: New users can change their current SIM to eSIM by visiting any branch of the mobile companies.
5. How can existing customers of the companies change their SIM to eSIM?
Answer: Most mobile companies allow their existing customers to convert the regular SIM to an embedded eSIM through their own company apps.
6. How much does the embedded SIM cost?
Answer: The cost of replacing the traditional SIM with an embedded SIM ranges between 270 and 300 Egyptian pounds, while the cost of the SIM for new users ranges between 330 and 365 Egyptian pounds.

Answer: Before changing or selling the phone, the user must erase the eSIM profile from the current device (whether it is a phone or a tablet) and make sure to delete personal content, such as photos, videos, and messages. The phone should also be reset to factory settings.
10. What happens if the QR code for activating eSIM is lost?
Answer: If the customer loses the code, they must go to the nearest branch of the mobile company to replace the embedded SIM. It is worth noting that the QR code the customer receives upon subscription is used only once.
11. Can another user use the QR code if it is lost?
Answer: If the QR code is lost after being added to your own phone, it cannot be used on another phone. However, if the code is lost before being added to the device, you must request a new code from the telecom company or contact customer service to suspend the SIM and prevent it from being used by someone else.

Answer: You must go to the nearest branch of the mobile company, where the sales employee removes the traditional SIM and gives the customer a QR code for the new eSIM card.
16. Does a factory reset of the phone cancel the eSIM card?
Answer: Yes, a factory reset of the phone cancels the eSIM activation, which requires going to the nearest branch and paying the fee to purchase a QR code to activate the embedded SIM again.
