Dan Pražák The latest iPhone XS, XS Max and XR are some of the very first phones in the world to offer eSIM. Thanks to this, users can use the new smartphones from Apple in Dual SIM mode. However, in order to be able to use eSIM in the phone, support from operators is required. In the Czech Republic, immediately after launch he offered T-Mobile. Yesterday, the second domestic operator Vodafone also joined it.
Vodafone customers can purchase an eSIM for a tariff as well as a prepaid card. This is one of the main advantages, because with T-Mobile the eSIM can only be used with a flat rate. After ordering, instead of a classic plastic SIM card, they receive a voucher with a QR code, which they scan into their phone and can then use mobile services as they are used to.

Customers who own multiple phone numbers do not need to change plastic cards and simply choose which eSIM profile they want to use. It is always possible to have only 1 profile active at a time.
A voucher with a QR code can be obtained in a store, via the My Vodafone application, in an e-shop or on the free customer line *77. After scanning the code, the so-called eSIM profile is downloaded to the phone, which contains the information necessary for logging into the operator's network. During activation, the phone must be connected to the Internet.

eSIM (embedded SIM, i.e. integrated SIM) brings several advantages. For example, users don't have to worry about whether they have the right SIM card size, look for a slot and physically change it. Complaints with non-functioning plastic SIM cards will also be cancelled. In the case of iPhones, thanks to the eSIM, the phone can be used in Dual SIM mode.
In addition, the voucher from Vodafone can be used repeatedly. Therefore, if the customer buys a new phone, all he has to do is delete the profile on the old device and re-upload it to the new one using a QR code. There is no need to visit the store again or order another voucher through the e-shop. However, it is necessary to observe the rule that the eSIM profile can only be downloaded in one device at a time.
You can find more information about eSIM directly in a specific section on the Vodafone website. You can order the corresponding voucher, for example, via the e-shop <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>.
