Moving a digital line to another phone

Changing the phone and changing the network are distinct events. Prepare the new device before removing a working eSIM.

01

Prepare the route

Determine whether the provider supports direct device transfer or requires a new profile. The phone manufacturer’s transfer screen is not evidence that every provider or account is eligible.

02

Keep a working connection

Charge both phones and use reliable connectivity. Retain access to the old number and authenticated provider account until the transfer is complete.

03

Test each function

A data connection alone does not prove voice and SMS are ready. Check all three. For dual SIM, inspect the default line for calls and mobile data.

04

If the transfer fails

Use the official provider’s replacement instructions. Deleting profiles repeatedly can make recovery harder. mestemwell cannot issue an eSIM, activate a line or recover an account.
