How to Set up eSIM on Samsung Galaxy S23 Series

Hello there! In this post, I will guide you on how to set up an eSIM on the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. I will also explain what an eSIM is and how to convert a physical SIM to an eSIM. Additionally, I will cover how to use dual SIM on the Samsung S23 and the benefits of using eSIM on the Samsung Galaxy S23.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM card that is embedded in your device’s hardware. Unlike physical SIM cards, you do not need to swap out eSIMs to switch between different mobile networks. This means you can have multiple phone numbers and network plans on the same device. eSIMs also offer more flexibility for international travel since you can easily purchase and activate a local data plan without having to physically swap out your SIM card.

Steps to set up an eSIM on your Samsung Galaxy S23 Series

Before you start, make sure your device supports eSIMs and that your carrier provides eSIM support. Once you have confirmed this, follow these steps:

• Go to the Settings app on your Samsung Galaxy S23.

• Tap on Connections and then tap on SIM card manager.
• Tap on Add Mobile Plan and then scan the QR code or manually enter the activation code provided by your carrier. In this guide, we use Vodafone UK carrier provider as an example.

• Your device will automatically download and activate the eSIM. You can then choose to set the eSIM as your default SIM for calls, texts, and data or choose to use it only for data.

Converting a Physical SIM to an eSIM

If your carrier supports eSIMs and you want to convert your physical SIM to an eSIM, you will need to contact your carrier and follow their instructions. Some carriers may allow you to convert your physical SIM to an eSIM through their website or mobile app.

To convert your physical SIM to an eSIM, follow these steps:

• Go to the Home screen. To open the menu, swipe up on the screen.

• Go to the Settings app on your Samsung Galaxy S23.
• Tap on Connections and then tap on SIM card manager.
• Select Dual SIM always on.
