What is the difference between eSIM and a physical SIM card?

eSIM is completely digital and does not require a physical SIM card. Your number is activated directly on your device using QR code. Functionally, there is no difference—calls, SMS, mobile internet, and all other mobile services work the same way.


Can I use my eSIM on another smartphone?

You can restore it using your existing QR code. The same QR code can be used up to five times. If you no longer have a valid QR code, visit Bakcell Customer Service Center or an official dealer to obtain a new one.

What should I do if I face difficulties while activating my eSIM?

Make sure you have followed all the activation steps correctly and check your internet connection. If activation via QR code is unsuccessful, contact Bakcell Customer Service to obtain the unique LPA code associated with your QR code.

Is an internet connection required to use eSIM?

An internet connection is only required when activating or deleting an eSIM. Once activated, internet access is only needed for services that require it.

Yes. All your active tariffs, services, minutes, and internet packages will remain unchanged after switching to eSIM.
