eSIM Facility
eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a SIM card standard where the card is built into the phone and doesn't require a physical SIM. Customers can simply activate the eSIM on their compatible smart devices by following the steps provided by their service provider.
A1 eSIM Service
A1 Bulgaria stated that inserting a SIM card is replaced by loading an eSIM profile into the mobile device by scanning a QR code. Similar to the traditional SIM card, the eSIM profile stores the information necessary to connect and use the A1 mobile network, making it easy for customers to adopt the technology.
Available for all Prepaid Users
According to A1 Bulgaria, the eSIM service is now available for all A1 Prepaid plan customers on both smartwatches and smartphones, whether as the primary SIM or the secondary SIM card on the smartphone, by enabling the DUAL SIM mode.
