eSIM
An eSIM (shortened for Embedded SIM) is just a physical SIM gone digital. Already built in your smartphone as a tiny chip, eSIM contains all the information needed to connect to my.t network.
You can check if your smartphone is compatible or not on my.t.mu/mobile/esim or you can call us on 8900.
Offering convenience and a hassle-free experience, eSIM is great for anyone who wants to use both their work and personal numbers on a single smartphone. What’s more, your eSIM number can be used on two different devices with our One Number service.

Yes, eSIM works using dual-SIM as well. That means you can continue using your regular physical SIM card while using the eSIM.
Dual SIM with an eSIM opens up many possibilities that were previously unavailable with only a physical SIM such as:
- Having two phone numbers and two different plans tied to a single device (particularly for iPhone users)
- Being able to have a data plan on a foreign carrier while traveling abroad without swapping SIMs
Once you’ve used your QR code with a phone, the eSIM profile is locked to that phone.
If you want to use your eSIM on another phone, you will need to delete the eSIM on your existing device and rescan the QR code on the new device.
Ensure your new device is eSIM compatible before starting the operation.
