Nothing to lose
An eSIM cannot fall out, snap, or wear down

The detail, in short
How to activate
1. Check that your device supports eSIM - most phones released in recent years do. 2. Request a Somtel eSIM from any outlet or through customer care. 3. Open your phone's mobile network settings and scan the QR code we provide. 4. Name the line, choose it as your data SIM if you wish, and you are connected.
Moving an existing number
Already have a Somtel number on a physical SIM? Bring it and your identification to an outlet and we will transfer it to an eSIM profile while you wait. Your number, balance and bundles all carry across.
