Environmental benefits of choosing eSIM

Switching to eSIM, you're helping reduce plastic waste from SIM cards and packaging, supporting more sustainable telecommunications. This small change to how you connect makes a significant difference to our planet by reducing environmental impact.

You should dispose of your old physical SIM card properly, and it is not recommended to swap to an eSIM unless you have specific need for one as eSIMs will require a SIM swap every time you change or upgrade phones going forward as they are bonded to each particular device.

Please note that we're getting ready to launch eSIM in October 2025, so some of the information in this article may not be valid until after this feature is released.
