  • What does e-SIM look like?

eSIM (embedded SIM) features:

• larger memory than a regular SIM card;

• multiple numbers on one device (can be from different network providers);

• ability to activate only one of the eSIMs and nano-SIM;

• no need to use a physical SIM card module.

Devices that support eSIM:

iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro

On some Apple devices (e.g. purchased outside of Kazakhstan), replacement of regular SIM to eSIM was unsuccessful on Kcell\activ network.
