An eSIM is an embedded card that, contrary to the traditional SIM, does not need a physical support to work. You only have to install your virtual card in the mobile phone, thanks to a chip that is integrated in it.

You can use the Oppo eSIM as a primary card or as a secondary line thanks to the dualSIM option that these smartphones have. This is a good solution for having multiple tariffs on the same phone so you don't have to carry more than one device on you.

The installation of the eSIM is different for each brand of mobile phone, but with a few simple steps you can have your virtual card set up. We have prepared a guide to tell you how to install the card and which Oppo models are compatible.
