It is now the time to ditch your traditional SIM card and enjoy the benefits of an eSIM. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the simple process of applying and activating your MTN eSIM. Let’s get started.
What is an MTN eSIM?
The MTN eSIM is a digital version of the physical SIM card embedded in a mobile device. It allows you to access MTN Cameroon’s mobile data and network offerings without a physical SIM card. One of the main pros of using an MTN eSIM is having multiple SIM profiles or numbers on one device.
eSIM compatibility
To determine if your device supports eSIM, dial *#06#. You should see a 32-digit Embedded Identity Document (EID) number, a unique identifier that helps your device connect to a service provider without a SIM card. If you don’t, there’s a chance your phone isn’t eSIM compatible.
Alternatively, check under Settings, then Cellular for an option to Add eSIM on iOS devices or go through Settings > About Phone and look for Status or SIM status on Android devices for the option to add an eSIM.
Requirements for the MTN eSIM
To apply for the MTN eSIM, you will need the following:
- An eSIM-compatible device.

Advantages of an eSIM
- With an eSIM, you no longer have to worry about activating your network with a traditional SIM card. If your mobile device is lost or stolen, you can easily disconnect your profile and reactivate your eSIM on another device.
- Unlike traditional SIM cards, eSIMs are embedded into your phone, making them impossible to remove and insert into another phone. This reduces the risk of SIM card theft and loss.
- eSIM-compatible devices allow you to use many different numbers or network providers on one device simultaneously.
- With an eSIM, you can connect to all your devices, including tablets, smartwatches, and smartphones.
How much does it cost to activate the MTN eSIM?
The eSIM application and activation cost 100 FCFA for all MTN subscribers.
Conclusion
Activating your MTN eSIM is a free, simple, and straightforward process that offers numerous benefits. Now that you have the correct information, it’s time to decide and make that switch and enjoy the freedom of managing multiple networks on one device.
