Why an eSIM is the Ultimate Upgrade for Your New iPhone 17
The move to eSIM isn’t just a trend; it’s a significant upgrade for any user, especially travelers. Traditional SIM cards are becoming a thing of the past. For your new iPhone 17, an eSIM (or embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan without needing to use a physical nano-SIM.
Here’s why it’s a game-changer for eSIM only iPhone travel:
- Instant Connectivity: Purchase and install a data plan from anywhere in the world in just a few minutes.
- No More Fiddling: Forget about searching for SIM ejector tools or losing tiny plastic cards.
- Enhanced Security: An eSIM cannot be physically removed if your phone is lost or stolen, making it more secure.
- Dual SIM Power: The iPhone 17 series fully supports dual eSIM, allowing you to have two active numbers or plans at once—one for home and one for travel, or one for work and one for personal use.
Pre-Activation Checklist for a Flawless Setup
Before you activate your iPhone 17 eSIM, a little preparation ensures the process is completely smooth. Run through this quick checklist:
- A Stable Wi-Fi Connection: You’ll need an internet connection to download and install your eSIM profile initially.
- Your iPhone 17 is Unlocked: Ensure your device is not locked to a specific carrier to use eSIMs from other providers. If you bought it directly from Apple, it’s likely unlocked.
- An Up-to-Date Operating System: Make sure you’re running the latest version of iOS for the best performance and compatibility.
- Yoho Mobile Account: Have your Yoho Mobile account ready to go. If you’re new, sign up is quick and easy.
- Device Compatibility: While the iPhone 17 is eSIM-ready, you can always double-check any device on our official eSIM compatible device list.

Mastering Connectivity: Tips for Using Dual eSIM on your iPhone 17
With a dual eSIM iPhone 17, you have ultimate control over your connectivity. Here are some pro tips for setting up dual eSIM on your iPhone 17 for travel:
- Label Your Lines: In Settings > Cellular, you can label your plans. A common setup is to name one ‘Primary’ (your home number) and the other ‘Travel’ (your Yoho Mobile eSIM). This helps you easily distinguish between them.
- Assign Default Lines: You can choose which line to use for voice calls and which for cellular data. For travel, set your Yoho Mobile eSIM as the default for ‘Cellular Data’ to avoid enormous international roaming fees from your home carrier.
- Keep Your Home Number Active: By keeping your primary line on, you can still receive calls and SMS texts (including verification codes) to your main number, all while using affordable Yoho Mobile data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I transfer my existing eSIM to the new iPhone 17?
Apple’s eSIM Quick Transfer feature makes this easy. During your iPhone 17 setup, you’ll be prompted to transfer your cellular plans. Just follow the on-screen instructions. For a Yoho Mobile plan, ensure you’ve manually topped up if needed before transferring.
Can I use two Yoho Mobile eSIMs at the same time on my iPhone 17?

What’s the best international data plan on Yoho Mobile for an eSIM-only iPhone 17?
The ‘best’ plan depends on your trip. For multi-country trips, our regional plans (e.g., Europe, Asia) are most cost-effective. For single-destination trips, a country-specific plan is ideal. The best part is our flexibility—you can build a plan that fits your itinerary perfectly.
