How to remove an eSIM
Finished using your Thailand travel eSIM? Here is how to remove its profile from your phone without deleting the wrong line.
Before you remove it
- Check the travel plan has ended or that you no longer need its remaining data. If you might use it again, turn the line off instead of deleting it.
- Check the eSIM label and provider name carefully. Keep your home SIM or any other active plan you still need.
- Deleting an eSIM removes its profile from the phone. To use it again, you may need a new activation from the provider.
- Removing the profile does not cancel a subscription or request a refund. Contact the provider separately about billing or cancellation.
