One of the novelties of Apple Watch LTE and the new iPhone XS and iPhone XR It is precisely the possibility of using two SIM cards, although this has its little trick, as you well know, one of the SIM cards is physical, while the other is subject to the eSIM standard that Apple wants to popularize, that is, in the slot of the phone card can only include one.
Companies such as Orange and Vodafone already have this system deployed in Spain, however, one of the largest was yet to arrive. Movistar confirms that it has deployed the eSIM system for its clients and it will start working today.
Sometimes it makes me think that Movistar is always late to these launches almost on purpose, but anyway, it is never too late if the happiness is good, they say. Movistar eSIM cards can now be activated, as well as requesting them if necessary. For this you must contact the commercial service, by dialing "1004" and calling. This is how Movistar thinks that it will be able to capture more IoT devices with which to interact without the limits that the WiFi network supposes in most cases.
It is curious because Movistar "only guarantees the correct operation of the Movistar eSIM in those devices that have been marketed by the brand", I do not quite understand this point, since as we well know, iOS does not usually have limitations of this type. To activate the eSIM service we must bear in mind that we can only do it on one device, and if we want the MultiSIM system with three additional cards we must request it. The price of the eSIM for a new registration is € 0, while duplicates will be charged at € 11.
Notably Movistar has only had this information for a few minutes on its website and we are waiting to know if it has actually been a mistake.
