If you want to learn what an eSIM card is and why everyone praises using it 🌟, you’re in the right place. eSIM is simply a SIM card, but super modern because it’s virtual. 🔥 No plastic, just numbers, a few taps in the app, and you’re good to go. ✨

eSIM, or virtual SIM card

Back in the day, from 1996 to 2003, SIM cards were quite large. Then someone figured out they could be smaller – and thus microSIMs appeared. In 2012, ultra-small nanoSIMs were invented, which was a real breakthrough. 💥

It seemed like it couldn’t get better. And now? Now there’s eSIM – a digital SIM card activated on a special chip built into the device. 🕵️‍♂️ Thanks to this, phones can be thinner, lighter and generally more stylish. Plus, eSIM makes using mobile services much easier, even on smartwatches.

A SIM card, whether physical or eSIM, is your personal key 🔑 to the mobile network. With it, you can call ☎️, send SMS 💬, and surf the internet 🚀 as you like, anytime and anywhere. Without it, you’re disconnected from the world, which is a bit of a bummer, right? 🙈

Who can use eSIM in Orange Flex?

Almost everyone can have an eSIM with Orange Flex. 👍 All you need is a compatible phone that supports eSIM (like iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and up, or other listed devices 👆), or another device (e.g., smartwatch with eSIM). Plus, any mobile plan in Orange Flex. 📊 Activating an eSIM is super simple. Just download the Orange Flex app, select eSIM, and follow the instructions. ✏️ No extra costs, because eSIMs in Orange Flex are free.

eSIM has many advantages (honestly, where are the downsides?) – no waiting for delivery, no fuss when changing phones, you can have two numbers on one phone, e.g., work and personal. The virtual card is also easy to locate if you lose your phone or watch, and deactivate if needed, which you can do right from the Orange Flex app.

Orange Flex package with eSIM – which one to choose?

Every Orange Flex Plan can work with eSIM, so no matter which you pick, you can use the virtual card on your phone or other compatible device. 🤳 It doesn’t matter if you choose the 75 GB, 150 GB, or UNLMTD plan – eSIM works on all. 🚀 The only difference is the access to additional eSIM cards, called multiSIMs (clones of your main number), which you can have from one to three, depending on your Flex plan. The more GB, the more extra cards.

And what distinguishes the different Orange Flex Plans? Mainly: the number of GB included in the plan. And their names suggest that: Plan 75 GB, Plan 150 GB, and Plan UNLMTD. In the last one, the gigabytes are unlimited within Poland! And SMS, MMS, and calls are unlimited in every plan. 📢
