An eSIM is a digital SIM card embedded directly into compatible smartphones and other devices. This technology eliminates the need for a physical SIM card, allowing users to switch carriers or add mobile plans with a few simple steps on their device.
Benefits of eSIMs for Travelers Team Telecom Armenia eSIM
- Hassle-free Connection: With an eSIM, there’s no need to hunt for a physical SIM card upon arrival in a new country. Activate your eSIM and connect to a local network seamlessly.
- Staying Connected: This ensures travelers maintain access to reliable internet and phone service, crucial for both business and leisure.
- Potential Cost Savings: eSIMs often provide competitive rates compared to traditional international roaming charges.
Team Telecom Armenia’s Approach to International eSIMs
The eSIM card can be registered through the My Team mobile application upon successful online identification of an individual, only with prepaid tariff plans of Telecom Armenia OJSC for voice and non-voice mobile communication services.
It is important to note that the Mobile ID service cannot be activated on an eSIM number. The Mobile ID service will not work even if the existing SIM card is replaced with an eSIM card since the Mobile ID technology is not compatible with eSIM. However, the subscriber can purchase an additional number in the eSIM format and use two numbers at the same time, i.e. a physical SIM with the connected Mobile ID service and an eSIM.
To activate eSIM, do the following: Team Telecom Armenia eSIM
1) Purchase an eSIM card
The eSIM card has a serial number, like a regular SIM card, in the 89374010003XXXXXXX format.
2) Obtain a special QR code
The card is activated by scanning a QR code, which will be provided electronically after the sale, on which the serial number will also be indicated as the eSIM card number. To scan the code, forward it to another device if automatic installation is not possible. For the security of your data, do not send the QR code to strangers.
3) Open the mobile connection settings on your smartphone, scan the QR code, download, and confirm the subscription
Scanning the QR code and activating the eSIM should be done through the settings of the smartphone. To activate the eSIM card, it is very important to have a stable Internet connection via Wi-Fi at the time of scanning the QR code. The instructions for activating eSIM will depend on the operating system of the device.
- For iOS
- Go to your phone’s settings and select the “Cellular” option.
- When you are in the “Cellular” section, go to the “Add cellular tariff” section.
- Scan the QR code using the camera.
- After scanning the QR code, select “Add cellular tariff.”
- Click OK and you’re done.
- To activate eSIM manually, on the QR code scanner page, select “Enter data manually” and enter the details of the received code in the appropriate field.
- For Android
- Go to your phone’s settings.
- Select “Connections” and go to “SIM Card Manager.”
- When you are in the “SIM Card Manager” section, select “Add mobile tariff.”
- Scan the QR code, and when you’re done, click “Use and Add.”
- To activate eSIM manually, on the QR code scanner page, select “Enter code” and enter the details of the received code in the appropriate field.
The same eSIM card can be reactivated up to 5 times; for example, if the downloaded profile was deleted from the smartphone, it can be restored. It is also possible to delete a profile from one smartphone to register it on another one by scanning an existing QR code.
The process of replacing an eSIM card is no different from the process of replacing a regular SIM card. Changing the number or format is available in all Telecom Armenia service points.
eSIM can be deleted through the settings of your smartphone, but the number itself will remain active. To cancel it, you should contact the service point and terminate the contract.
Online Identification
Digital Identification is a modular user identity verification service available on iOS and Android platforms through the My Team mobile app.
The principle of digital identification is based on remote verification of the user’s identity by reading and verifying an identity document (ID card or passport) and ensuring that the user who holds it is the same one who is specified in the identity document through the recognition of facial biometrics and their comparison with each other via online shooting.
To complete the remote identification procedure, do the following:
- Accept Personal Data Processing Agreement;
- Grant the application access to the camera of the mobile device;
- Provide sufficient lighting conditions;
- Ensure the absence of foreign objects and persons during the shooting;
- Prepare an identity document;
- The identity document should be original, valid during the process, and held by the person undergoing identification;
- The person undergoing identification should be at least 16 years old.
Important Notes
Before purchasing an eSIM, make sure your device is eSIM compatible. For detailed information on how to purchase an eSIM, visit Team Telecom Armenia’s website or download their “My Team” app.
