The eSIM is here

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM that's built directly into your smartphone. It offers the same functions as a physical SIM card but without the need for one. Since it's already integrated into the device, you can activate your subscription without having to insert a physical card.

How to activate your eSIM and subscription?

To use your eSIM, you'll need an activation code. If you requested an eSIM online, you’ll receive an activation email with your PIN, PUK, and mobile number within two hours. Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi and have the email ready when you start the activation. You can easily activate your eSIM via the MyProximus+ app (the easiest way!) or by logging into your MyProximus account. New to MyProximus? You can create your account in just a few simple steps.

If you received your eSIM in a Proximus Shop, simply scan the QR code with the device you want to activate it on. In just a few seconds, you’ll be connected to the Proximus network.

Why choose an eSIM?

An eSIM offers multiple benefits:

• Manage multiple numbers on one device: Use one device for both your personal and work numbers with ease.
• Stay connected abroad: Traveling to the US, Asia, Australia, Africa, or Switzerland? With eSIM, you can avoid unexpected charges. Simply activate a local data plan when outside the EU, and enjoy worry-free browsing and calling.
