    Frequently asked questions

    Most eSIM devices will support multiple eSIMs. However, you can only have two active eSIMs at the same time, depending on your device. Check your device manufacturer’s specifications.

    You can remove a digital eSIM profile from a device before disposing, reselling or trading in the device. A profile can be restored any time in the My Telstra app, but you can't remove it remotely.

    If you only want to disable your eSIM temporarily, turn it off in your device settings. That’s easier than completely removing and restoring it.

    To remove an eSIM profile from your device:

    1. Go to Settings
    2. Choose Mobile Data or Network & Internet, depending on your phone 
    3. Select the SIM or service you want to remove 
    4. Go to Remove Mobile Data Plan or Erase SIM, depending on your phone. 

    Steps may vary based on your operating system, so check the device manufacturer’s instructions.
