I restored my data on my (new) iPhone, but my eSIM profile does not work. What to do?

When restoring your data to your a new or another iPhone, the eSIM profile is not restored. This is an Apple limitation in the data restoration process.

In order to properly reinstall your Ubigi eSIM profile on your iPhone after restoring or resetting your device, we invite you to follow the instructions below:

A/ If you are restoring or transferring data to the same iPhone:
Connect to WiFi or cellular data with your primary SIM card (locally), then follow instructions here to reinstall your Ubigi eSIM profile.

B/ If you are restoring or transferring data to a new iPhone or a different iPhone:
If you still have access to your “old” phone on which the Ubigi eSIM profile was installed, please access it and go to Settings to delete the eSIM profile on it. (NB: make sure you are connected to WiFi with old phone when deleting).

After that, follow instructions on this link in order to reinstall the eSIM profile on your new phone.

If you do not have access to your “old” phone on which the Ubigi eSIM profile was installed, please contact Customer Service mentioning the email address of your Ubigi account to help you resolve the situation.

Good eSIM cards
Good eSIM cards, without the need to reinstall eSIM after each purchase which is a huge pain with other subscriptions. Customer support can be a bit better, as I needed one eSIM card reissued due to an error during installation and it required sending few messages until they did it, but it worked

I can connect my family
I can connect my family, relatives & friends around the world. Although, there's some places I have no internet connection like when you're in the high mountain going for a big hike. Otherwise, once I am back in town & in the city, the connection is excellent. Happy to subscribe UBIGI during my stay in Cebu City, Philippines

It was very good but a bit confusing
It was very good but a bit confusing when my time expired and I wanted to add another period of time. I tried to sign up for another week but it took almost a full day to confirm and it wasn't 100% clear as to how to turn it on and off, or if that was necessary. All in all, it was great and a great price.
