How to delete a Ubigi eSIM from your phone
Deleting a Ubigi eSIM profile is done in your phone’s settings rather than in the Ubigi app or on the website. Whether you’re on iPhone or Android, it only takes a few taps of the screen to get it done.
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. 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 isn’t working, you might want to remove it from your device. Before deleting, make sure to contact customer support and file any refund request with 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.
