Transfer: Can I transfer my Nimbus eSIM to another phone?

No. Once a Nimbus eSIM is installed on a phone, it stays on that phone.

This isn't a Nimbus restriction - it's how travel eSIMs work in general. The eSIM profile is locked to your device's hardware (the eUICC chip) at the moment of installation, and removing it from one phone doesn't free it up to install on another.

Two scenarios people usually mean when they ask:

You're switching to a new phone before your trip and haven't installed the eSIM yet. No problem - install it on the new phone. Your purchase is tied to your Nimbus account, not a specific device.

You've already installed the eSIM on phone A and now want to use phone B. The original eSIM is locked to phone A. Message us with your order number and what happened - depending on whether any data has been used, we can usually issue a fresh eSIM for phone B.

If you're traveling and your phone breaks or gets stolen, message us first. Don't try to delete the eSIM from a backup or cloud - that won't transfer it, and it may make recovery harder on our end.
