If you want to change telephone companies and you have an eSIM card, you must first delete it and cancel the service with the current company.
Physical SIM cards have been an element that has been with us for many years and has allowed mobile phones – and later smartphones – to connect to mobile networks. Both in Spain and in the rest of the world, they have evolved, from the conventional SIM to the microSIM , and will soon give way to eSIMs , which, in fact, are already present in many smartphones.
It is a kind of card that enables communication and is already integrated into the internal memory of the phone so that the user does not need to enter anything into the mobile phone to be able to communicate. With these eSIMs, you will only need to have contracted a rate with a telephone company , which will provide the keys through which each mobile will connect to the network depending on what it has contracted.
That is, at least, until you decide to change your company, or even your mobile phone, at which point it will be necessary to remove the card from your mobile phone. This process is simpler than it seems, and there are several things that can make it even easier.
