Reasons to Choose an eSIM Card for Your Mobile Device


In today's digitally connected world, staying seamlessly connected while travelling or switching devices is essential. eSIM cards are transforming the way we handle mobile connectivity. Unlike traditional physical SIM cards, eSIMs offer a range of benefits that make them a great choice.

Convenience and flexibility.

eSIM cards eliminate the need for physical SIM cards, allowing users to add or switch between different carriers directly from their device settings. This eliminates the hassle of obtaining and inserting physical SIM cards, making it especially convenient for frequent travellers who want to switch networks without swapping physical SIM cards.

Global roaming made effortless.

Travelling abroad? Instead of searching for a physical SIM card in a foreign country, users can easily purchase a local plan through their own device whilst still having access to their Everyday Mobile from Woolworths plan. This not only saves time but also ensures a smoother transition to local networks without the need for manual configurations.

Dual SIM functionality.

Many eSIM enabled devices offer dual SIM functionality, allowing users to have two active phone numbers on a single device - for people who like to keep each SIM separate or people who frequently travel between countries. 

Remote activation and management.

With eSIMs, activation and management become digital processes. Users can activate their eSIM remotely, which is particularly useful when purchasing a device online or when getting a new plan. Additionally, managing and switching plans can be done effortlessly through the Everyday Mobile from Woolworths app.

Choosing an eSIM card is a forward-looking decision that offers a host of benefits, from convenience and flexibility to simplified global roaming. As technology continues to evolve, eSIMs are paving the way for a more streamlined and connected mobile experience. So, the next time you're considering a new mobile plan or preparing for a trip abroad, think eSIM for a smarter, more efficient way to stay connected.

Frequently asked questions.

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a phone plan without the need to insert a physical SIM card.

If you want to sign up with eSIM:

Simply select your Prepaid, Long Expiry or SIM Only plan. Once you have added the plan to cart, you can choose between receiving a physical SIM or activating with an eSIM.

Once you have a new compatible device, simply download the Everyday Mobile from Woolworths app, sign in, tap the Options tab, then tap SIM Card, then tap Change to eSIM and follow the on screen instructions. This will perform a “SIM swap” to a new eSIM.

Many devices will allow you to have multiple Mobile Plans set up on the device, but only 2 lines can be active at any one time. This is usually 2 physical SIM cards, 1 physical with 1 eSIM, or in some devices such as an iPhone 13, you can have 2 eSIM active at once.
