Bell customers can now manage their eSIMs online and through the MyBell app.
According to the company’s website, new customers can activate online or through the app. Existing customers adding a new line or those wanting to transfer their service from a physical SIM to an eSIM can do so through the app.
Customers adding a new line are prompted to select ‘Set up eSIM.’ on the app. To transfer service, log into the MyBell app and select “Manage my SIM and device.”
According to the app’s description on the App Store, Bell updated the feature on November 20th, but the feature has been available for some time now.
“[Bell] launched the ability for customers to activate an eSIM capable device right from their own device (requires a Wi-Fi connection) this past summer,” a spokesperson confirmed to MobileSyrup. Bell also doesn’t charge for eSIMs at this time.
“If you are bringing your own phone, you can check if it is eSIM compatible and activate it immediately,” the description on Bell’s website states. “No more waiting to receive a physical SIM card.”
Bell’s website details how to set up an eSIM through other methods here.
Rogers released the feature in early November, and Telus followed soon after.
More information is available on Bell’s website.
