Orange Spain launches first eSim service on prepaid cards

The eSIM, also known as virtual SIM, is gradually replacing the current SIM cards that exist on the market. The eSIM card is an evolution of the SIM card, it is integrated into the devices themselves (smartphones, smartwatches, etc.) and in this way, the physical SIM card that we all know is no longer necessary. Orange has become the first operator in Spain to offer a prepaid service via an embedded SIM card (eSIM). orange spain esim

To activate the eSIM card on your Smartphone you must have a QR activation code provided by Orange and alternative Internet connectivity (Wi-Fi or cellular).

Anyone with an Apple iPhones XS, XS MAX, and XR with IOS 12.1.1 or higher or with Google Pixel phones, all of which come with GSMA-standardised eSIM support, can now sign up for the newly-available Holidays prepaid service, aimed primarily at the millions of tourists that visit Spain every year.

Orange announced that it offers 40 GB in its summer promotion for the prepaid card Holidays Spain and that, until September, will give away an additional 10GB of data for each recharge equal to or higher than the monthly fee of €30.
One of the novelties is that it is offered in eSIM or Virtual SIM  format. The Orange Holidays Spain card thus becomes the first prepaid service that is marketed in Spain with a virtual card, something quite interesting for people who want to keep their original number when they visit the country.

 

The devices you may use with the eSIM technology in Orange are:

  • Huawei Watch 2
  • Galaxy Watch 4G
  • iPhone XS, XS MAX y XR

What advantages does this new card offer?

eSIM technology is called to transform the way we communicate, adding new uses to existing devices, facilitating connection to new ones and providing an improved, more digital and immediate mobile communications service subscription experience.

With the eSIM you avoid having to manipulate a physical SIM card with the problems that this can cause.

It also allows the download of multiple subscriptions on the same device, although only one can be active at the same time (except Dual SIM devices).

Another advantage that the eSIM will bring us is the optimization of the design of mobile devices, given that the space currently occupied by the physical SIM card slot can be used to support other functionalities, in this way they can be connected to the smaller and smaller devices.


How to activate an eSIM on an iPhone?

  1. Go to settings, mobile data, add data plan.
  2. Scan your QR code given by Orange.
  3. Configure and confirm the mobile plan that better adapts to your needs.
  4. Check your actual situation so you may choose between your regular chip, your SIM or your eSIM.

How to activate an eSIM in your Huawei?

 

Briefly, just download these two apps: Wear OS and Huawei Wear. After, just follow the instructions to sync the devices and use the card correctly. Finally, click “mobile communications” in the Huawei Wear app and scan the QR code to activate the eSIM card in your Huawei.
