@Lando O2 ditched the esim some time ago so I doubt it'll be anytime soon.

@Lando I understand you were asking for a specific timeframe, but the information above is all we know on eSIM at the moment. As I mentioned, as and when any devices go live with eSIM technology on our network, we’ll let you and everyone else know.

Can you provide any update on O2's provision of esim technology? I can see you now provide an Apple Watch contract which uses esim - plus I have just been told that business customers can use esim with O2. I can't believe that if it is now functionality you now provide on your network there would be any reason to provide it to some users and not all?

@BH2019

O2's business billing platform does not support eSim technology and there are no plans in the foreseeable future to change that.

@MI5 Thanks for that. In contacting O2 customer support, I've just been told that if I change my plan from a personal tariff to a business tariff, I can then switch to an eSim with my existing iPhone?

eSim is available on personal tariffs mate - Customer service have that wrong.

@MI5 Are you talking about for use with an Apple Watch - or iPhone? My query was in relation to iPhone. I've just called O2 again and been told unequivocally again that it isn't possible to use eSim as a personal customer, but if I create a business account then I would be able to use eSim.
