Upgrading to a new phone is exciting, but transferring your eSIM can seem tricky. Whether you're moving from an iPhone to Android or between Android devices, this guide walks you through the process. For eSIM Maroc customers, we've got specific tips to ensure your unlimited data plan keeps working without interruption.
What Is an eSIM and How Does It Work?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that lets you activate a cellular plan without a physical SIM card. It's stored on your phone's chip and can be transferred to a new device. eSIM Maroc provides instant QR code delivery via email—no physical card needed.
How to Transfer Your eSIM to a New iPhone
Using eSIM Quick Transfer (iOS 16+)
Apple's eSIM Quick Transfer lets you move a plan from one iPhone to another without contacting your carrier. Steps:
- On your new iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan.
- Your old iPhone will show a prompt to transfer the plan. Tap Transfer.
- Follow the on-screen instructions. The eSIM profile moves to your new device.
Manual Transfer (QR Code)
If Quick Transfer isn't available, use the original QR code from eSIM Maroc. If you lost it, resend your QR code using the email you purchased with. Then:
- Go to Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan.
- Scan the QR code. Your plan activates on the new phone.
How to Transfer Your eSIM to a New Android Phone
Android devices vary by manufacturer, but the general process is similar:
- On your new Android, open Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Add eSIM.
- Scan the QR code from eSIM Maroc. If you don't have it, request a resend.
- Some carriers allow transfer via a confirmation code. eSIM Maroc does not require one—just the QR code.
Important Tips for eSIM Maroc Users
- No account needed: eSIM Maroc doesn't have a customer portal. Your QR code is your key. Keep it safe or save a screenshot.
- Unlimited data: Your plan includes unlimited 4G/5G data. No need to worry about gigabytes when transferring.
