Tap Network Selection
Turn off Automatic

Can I Install an eSIM on More Than One Device? π±
Each eSIM is intended for use on a single device only. Once an eSIM is installed on your phone, tablet, or other device, it becomes linked to that device and cannot be reused or transferred to another.
One eSIM = One Device
eSIMs are securely tied to the device where they are first activated. That means:
You cannot install the same eSIM on multiple devices.
If you remove the eSIM from your device, it cannot be reinstalled.
Need Data on More Devices?
If you want internet access on more than one device (like a second phone, tablet, or hotspot), youβll need to purchase separate eSIMs for each.
You can easily buy and manage multiple eSIMs in the Zapesim app, allowing seamless travel and connectivity on all your devices.

How to Enable Personal Hotspot πΆ
You can use your Zapesim eSIM to share your internet connection with other devices using Personal Hotspot.
iOS Devices:
Open the Settings app on your iPhone. βοΈ
Tap Personal Hotspot.
Toggle the switch to turn it ON.
You can now connect other devices to your iPhoneβs internet.
Things to Keep in Mind π
Using hotspot consumes data from your eSIM plan.
Streaming, downloads, and multiple connected devices will use more data.
Hotspot sharing is great for laptops, tablets, or helping a friend stay connected while traveling. πβ¨
