How to activate etisalat sim
An eSIM removes the plastic, which matters for a visitor landing at DXB or a second line for work. The line provisions from an QR or the app, and it keeps your number if you convert a physical SIM.

Steps
- Check the handset supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked.
- In the du app, choose line > switch to eSIM (or buy an eSIM plan for a visitor).
- Scan the QR in Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM; label the line (Work/Home).
- Keep the old line active for the first hour in case activation needs a retry, then delete the old profile.
- For travel, add the roaming or destination data pack before you fly, not at the gate.
