if you are switching to a new phone you will need to visit an ALIV store to be issued a new eSIM.
An eSIM is a digital SIM card embedded into your device. A SIM card stores the information needed for your phone to authenticate to the Aliv network. By using both a Physical SIM and an eSIM, both the phone numbers can make and receive voice calls and send and receive text messages (SMS).
This means you can have your personal and business phone numbers on one device, or you can add a second phone line for travel.
