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.

Great eSIM for short travels.
Setting up the eSIM was easy and the guides were straightforward and simple to follow. The price is also quite afford. The only gripes I had is that the amount of data you could request wasn't as flexible since there were only a preset list of options. The speed of the data was fine when using light and simple apps like maps and viewing online web pages. But anything more heavy like social and viewing videos did take some time to load.

Ubigi eSim is a winner!
Ubigi was a brilliant solution for mobile data in Spain. My service provider was quoting £22+ to use my normal plan for roaming and the Ubigi eSim was £8 for 10gb. More than enough for my needs. It’s simple to buy, install and use and the coverage was spot on. Will definitely use again and have recommended it to other travellers.

Easy to use. The network was connected in almost all places with very minor drop outs. Thank you for the reliable service.

Used during Tokyo trip
I spent 12 days in Tokyo, using my phone for navigation—on trains and walking around every day—and the Ubigi connection was excellent. It even worked in most subway stations, though I did lose connectivity in a few areas. Overall, a great experience.

Very Simple and positive Android experience
The android app made things really easy, and streamlined. Bought my E-Sim through it with GPay on my phone and it auto installed everything, all I had to do was switch it to primary and disable data on my home Sim. I had great service and data. It was a good experience

Works well for the most part
Virtual SIM worked great while in Tokyo. The network dropped too many times while in Osaka.
