FAQ

What's an eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a mobile phone plan from Globe without having to use a physical nano-SIM.


Devices that are eSIM-supported already have the SIM embedded into the device. This SIM is ready to be activated by Globe based on the configuration of the mobile device. Depending on what the device can support, users may add multiple profiles or mobile numbers, which can be used one to two at a time.


As of 2018, only a few carriers across 10 countries support eSIM, and Globe is the first to make this available in the Philippines.

How's it different from a physical nano-SIM?

A physical nano SIM is something you can hold and remove from your device. When your device supports an eSIM, this means:

  • The SIM is already embedded into the device.

  • It’s ready to be activated by the network carrier based on the configuration of the mobile device.

  • Users may add multiple profiles or mobile numbers which can be used one to two at a time, depending on the device.

you may activate the eSIM of your eSIM-capable phone starting December 27, 2018. Both Globe stores and the New Globe Online Shop (for new postpaid subscribers) will be ready to assist you on this.

For iPhones, Go to Cellular > About and look for "Add Cellular Plan."

Some countries though have released iPhone versions that don’t support an eSIM.
