Deutsche Telekom eSIM transfer between Android and iOS

Deutsche Telekom eSIM transfer between Android and iOS

Deutsche Telekom has launched a first in Europe: seamless eSIM profile transfers across Android and iOS, removing long-standing friction when customers switch devices or platforms. Customers on Deutsche Telekom can now move their mobile subscription as an eSIM from Android to iOS and vice versa without a carrier app, QR code, or paperwork. The transfer process is initiated in the settings of the new device and handled natively by the operating system, which detects the previous phone and orchestrates the migration. Deutsche Telekom validates device, tariff, and user eligibility in the background, then authorizes the transfer, preserving the phone number and plan.
