Thumb Cellular is now able to activate select mobile devices using eSIM technology.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An eSIM is a digital SIM that eliminates the need for a physical SIM card. With eSIM, you can quickly and easily transfer an existing cellular plan or get a new cellular plan, all digitally. You can even store multiple eSIMs on the same device and use two phone numbers at the same time. And it\u2019s more secure – someone can\u2019t remove the physical SIM card if your device is lost or stolen. In just a few simple steps, you are ready to make calls, send messages, and browse the web.<\/p>\n
