Can An eSIM Profile Be Used More Than Once?
Yes, it is very possible. However, not while it is downloaded and installed on a phone. It can be reused as soon as the profile is disconnected from a device.
What Happens If I Misplace My eSIM Device?
Simply call 180 or enter any of the MTN stores and ask for the MSISDN to be blocked. You can instantly initiate a SIM swap if you have another mobile device and acceptable proof of identity.
That is that.
