hello this is Mr Mobility once again in
0:11
this short explainer video I want to
0:13
explain to you how to convert an eim to
0:16
a physical Sim why would you need to do
0:19
that perhaps you're already using an eim
0:21
phone with an eim profile that's active
0:24
in it unfortunately or for some reason
0:28
your next phone does not support eim
0:31
technology what do you do you find a way
0:34
to convert or more accurately replace
0:37
your eim with a physical Sim so that you
0:41
can use it in your new phone an eim is a
0:45
virtual SIM card the eim feature is
0:47
built into your phone and you're able to
0:49
add install activate remove and delete
0:53
eim profiles as you like each e profile
0:56
has a unique telephone number attached
0:58
to it so if you have multiple phone
1:01
numbers you can add those multiple phone
1:04
numbers as eim profiles in your phone
1:08
and then activate and use them as you
1:10
want now so you have an eim active on
1:14
one phone and you need to switch to a
1:17
phone that does not support eim
1:19
technology so you need to replace your
1:22
eim with a physical s there is only one
1:26
way to do that you have to get in touch
1:29
with your carrier or your mobile network
1:32
operator now the quickest way is just
1:35
take a walk into the nearest store of
1:39
your operator take a work into the
1:41
nearest carrier store and ask for a Sim
1:46
swap from eim to physical Sim what your
1:50
mobile network operator will do is
1:53
deactivate the eim profile on your phone
1:56
or delete the eim profile on your phone
1:59
and then provision your number and your
2:03
account onto a physical SIM card and
2:06
then hand that physical SIM card over to
2:08
you you put into your phone and in a
2:11
matter of seconds or a few minutes or
2:14
sometimes an hour depending on your
2:16
country and your mobile network operator
2:19
your physical syam comes active and you
2:22
can start using without any issues now
2:25
there is a second way it depends on
2:28
whether your carrier or mobile Network
2:30
operator supports
2:31
it if your carrier supports it you can
2:35
request online in some cases you're able
2:38
to log into your account management area
2:41
on your carrier website or your mobile
2:43
network operator website and request for
2:46
a swap of your eim to physical Sim and
2:50
they will deactivate your eim provision
2:53
your your line or number onto a physical
2:55
Sim and then mail it to
2:58
you this means you don't have to go
3:00
anywhere but of course it means it's
3:02
going to take more time because the
3:04
shipping the mailing process is going to
3:07
take at the least a few days the fastest
3:10
way to convert your eim to a physical
3:14
Sim is to just take a walk into the
3:17
nearest store outlet of your mobile
3:20
network operator or Carrier and get it
3:23
done and in a matter of minutes your
3:26
fiscal seim is ready and you can start
3:29
using it in your phone that's how it
3:32
works that's the way to replace your e
