Setting up and Using eSIM on Your Device<\/h3>\n

eSIM is a feature that allows you to have an additional line on your device for data-only purposes, while still using another line for voice calls and SMS. In this section, we will guide you through the process of enabling and setting up your eSIM, as well as configuring your device to use it for data.<\/p>\n

Checking Plan Type<\/h3>\n

Before proceeding with the setup, it is important to check the Additional Information details of your eSIM to determine its specific plan type. This information will be helpful when configuring your device later on.<\/p>\n

Enabling the Default Voice Line<\/h3>\n

To use your primary line for voice calls and text messages, while utilizing the eSIM for data, you need to enable the Default Voice line. The steps to do this may vary depending on the type of device you have. Below, we have provided instructions for popular operating systems:<\/p>\n

  4. Go back to the Cellular page and tap on Default Voice Line<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
