How to delete a Ubigi eSIM from your phone
Deleting a Ubigi eSIM only takes a few taps and works the same way as removing any other eSIM profile from your device. The exact steps differ slightly between iPhone and Android, so follow the relevant section below.
Keep in mind that if you run out of data, you can top up your Ubigi eSIM — there’s no need to delete the profile. For a full breakdown of the provider, see our Ubigi eSIM review.
Unlike many eSIM providers, Ubigi does allow you to reinstall a deleted eSIM profile by going to Account > MySIMs > Install in the Ubigi app, or by contacting Ubigi customer support.
Here’s how to remove a Ubigi eSIM, depending on the type of phone you have:
How to delete a Ubigi eSIM on iOS
- Go to Settings.
- Open the Cellular/Mobile Service settings menu.
- Choose the eSIM you want to delete.
- Tap on the Delete eSIM option at the bottom of the menu.
How to delete a Ubigi eSIM on Android
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Connections
- Open the SIM Manager settings menu.
- Choose the eSIM you want to remove.
- Tap the Remove button at the bottom of the menu.
The steps can vary slightly depending on the make of your Android device and the version of your operating system.
As you can see, the process is simple and does not require you to reset your network settings or perform a factory reset on your phone.

When to delete a Ubigi eSIM
We’ve already clarified that deleting an eSIM is super simple, but why do it at all? Let’s take a look at some of the main reasons why you might want to.
- Issues with your eSIM — If your Ubigi eSIM is not working, you might want to remove it from your device. Before deleting, contact customer support and request a refund from Ubigi first, as deleting the profile may affect your eligibility.
- You won’t be using the eSIM — Ubigi eSIMs don’t have a validity period, but if you’re sure you won’t need it again, delete the profile to free up space for new eSIMs on your phone.
- You’re selling or giving away your phone — Passing your device on to someone else? Delete all eSIM profiles first, or perform a factory reset, which removes them automatically.
Note: If you don’t need the eSIM right now but might use it again later, consider deactivating it instead of deleting it. Deactivating pauses the profile on your device without removing it, and you can reactivate it at any time.
