eSIM is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan from your carrier without having to use a physical nano-SIM. The invention of this technology introduces consumers to a whole new world of flexibility and connectivity at home and abroad. Now you can see eSIM support on more and more smartphones, tablets and laptops, and the new iPad Air 5 (2022) is no exception.
The iPad Air 5 features both Nano-SIM (supports Apple SIM) and eSIM, meaning that you can alternate between physical SIM card and embedded SIM depending on your circumstances. There are no more finding vendors at airports to buy SIMs, no more keeping track of countless cards on trips, and no more waste from unnecessary plastic cards. Because eSIM is completely digital, you can easily switch between networks using remote provisioning. If your iPad gets lost by accident, other people will not be able to dispose of or trace your SIM.
As more telecommunications providers are opening their networks to eSIM technology, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile US, GigSky, EE etc, you can probably take advantage of it whether you’re in Europe, East Asia, or North America. But it’s best to consult your carrier for more details before setup. In case you’re interested in other iPads that supports eSIM, here’s a list for your reference:
- iPad mini (5th generation and later)
- iPad (7th generation and later)
- iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
- iPad Pro 11-inch (all generations)
- iPad Pro 12.9inch (3rd generation and later)
If you want to set up a cellular plan with eSIM on your iPad Air 5, follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings>Cellular Data
- Do on of the following: 1.To set up the first cellular plan, select a carrier, then follow the onscreen instructions; 2.To add another cellular plan to your iPad, tap Add a New Plan; 3. To scan a QR code provided by your carrier, tap Other. Position iPad so that the QR code provided by your carrier appears in the frame, or enter the details manually. You may be asked to enter a confirmation code provided by your carrier.
- You can also download the carrier’s app (if there is) and follow the instructions
- You’re allowed to store more than one eSIM, but you can only use one of them at a time.
