Updated this week

💡 Navigating the differences between your eSIM and primary SIM card can be tricky, especially if you've forgotten to label your new eSIM Kolet. Below, you'll find a detailed guide on how to differentiate between eSIM and primary SIM cards.

🍎For Apple iOS Devices

⚙️In you eSIM settings: You can check as follows:

  • GO to "Settings"

  • TAP "Cellular" or "Mobile Data"

  • SELECT the "Kolet eSIM"

  • If you see "Plus" or "Orange" or "TIM" on the top of your screen, that means it's your Kolet eSIM

🚫 No Phone Number: Your Kolet eSIM do not have a phone number associated with them, unlike traditional SIM cards, which are linked to a specific phone number. You can check this information by going into your SIM section.

🏷️ Default Label: Typically, your primary eSIM is identified by the label "Used as Primary", indicating that it is the main eSIM in use. Meanwhile, any secondary eSIMs you have will be assigned a different label, such as "Business" "Mobile Data" "Travel" or another identifier to distinguish them from the primary eSIM.
