Will my main SIM still work in Switzerland?

Yes, your main SIM remains active alongside the eSIM. This allows you to use your regular phone number for calls while the eSIM handles mobile data. This effectively avoids roaming fees.

eSIM compatibility depends on the device, not the country. Check under Settings → Cellular if the option "Add eSIM" is available. Alternatively: dial *#06# – if an EID is displayed, your device supports eSIM.

How long is my eSIM valid for Switzerland?

Validity depends on the plan you chose (7, 15, or 30 days). The period starts with first data usage in Switzerland, not from the purchase date.

Can I transfer my eSIM to a new device?
