eSIM Phone Selling Tips: Now the need for physical SIM card to make calls and messages from the phone is gone. Many models now come with e-SIM support. In these you do not need to insert a physical SIM card. Talking about America, Apple provides only e-SIM support in all the iPhones sold here. There are many benefits of e-SIM, but if you are selling a phone with e-SIM then you will have to be extra careful. Like a normal phone, you cannot make it work by doing a factory reset.
First know about e-SIM
In physical SIM, a pre-programmed physical card has to be inserted into a special slot in the phone. E-SIM does not require any such slot. In this, network credentials are downloaded to an embedded SIM card (eSIM). Once downloaded, they remain on the phone permanently. E-SIM is considered more secure and it is linked to the IMEI number of the phone, which strengthens the security.
Do this work before selling the phone
Before selling your old phone, it is important to do some things. Whether you are selling a phone with physical SIM or e-SIM, first take a data backup. Nowadays, all the important data including personal and financial details are stored in the phone. Therefore it is important to take its backup. There will be no worry about data getting deleted if there is a backup. Similarly, log out the accounts of social media, banking and other apps stored in the phone. With this, there will be no problem when you log in to these apps in the new phone. Apart from this, you can also get the phone repaired for better value.
This work is necessary while selling a phone with e-sim
Apart from all these tasks, if you are selling a phone with e-SIM, then you will have to do one more task. Before selling this phone, definitely delete your e-SIM profile. Because there is no guarantee that this will be removed by doing a factory reset. Therefore, first transfer your e-SIM profile to the new phone. After this, delete this profile and factory reset the phone. With this, your data, settings, files and e-SIM etc. will be safe from falling into the hands of someone else. These things will then help you in setting up the new phone.
