When activating Panda Mobile, you can choose between a physical SIM and an eSIM. Here’s how to decide which one is best for you.

What’s the Difference?

  • eSIM: A digital SIM embedded in your phone. No card required, and you can manage your plan directly from your device. It can be activated instantly.

  • Physical SIM: A removable card inserted into your phone. It’s traditional and works with most phones. You must get one shipped to you before you can activate.

Which Should You Get?

  • Choose eSIM: If your phone is compatible, eSIM is the best option. It’s convenient, easy to manage, and ideal for switching plans or traveling.

  • Choose Physical SIM: If your phone doesn’t support eSIM, a physical SIM is still a reliable choice.

In most cases, if your device supports eSIM, it’s the preferred option for Panda Mobile.
