Which MATE mobile plans are eSIM compatible?
All of our MATE mobile plans are now compatible with eSIM. eSIM plans are a more flexible, convenient, and affordable alternative to physical SIM cards. Here are some reasons why:
- An eSIM is not at risk of damage or loss: there is no physical chip that you have to buy and keep in your phone.
- You can start your plan immediately: There is no waiting for your SIM to come in the mail; once you select your plan, you can activate it then and there.
- More affordable: You don’t need to keep purchasing new SIM cards when changing your mobile plans.
