What happens to an eSIM after formatting an iPhone?
When you format your iPhone, all data stored on the device is erased — including any eSIM profiles. You can reactivate the eSIM afterward using the QR code that was originally sent to your email during the initial activation. If the email was lost or deleted, your mobile operator’s customer support can help restore access.

I’m a freelancer, and it doesn’t matter where I am as long as I have stable internet. This year, I’ve been traveling across Europe. To stay connected in any country, I choose the eSIM.World eSIM marketplace. It’s the most budget-friendly and, to my surprise, the best option.

I used eSIM.World to activate an eSIM on my tablet. Everything was very convenient—clear step-by-step instructions made setup a breeze. Literally just a few clicks, and it was done! It didn’t take much time either. Best of all, no need to visit a store, fiddle with settings, or pay extra fees to a manager.
