eSIMs

Microsoft will discontinue its Mobile Plans service, with the app ceasing operations on February 27, 2026. The app will be removed from Windows and the Microsoft Store immediately. Users will still be able to connect their PCs to mobile networks, but management will shift to Windows Settings and require navigation to mobile operators' websites. Existing connections will remain functional. The introduction of eSIMs will eliminate the need for codes or QR scans, with a public rollout expected in the latter half of 2025. Microsoft will provide updated documentation for users, while mobile carriers may face challenges adapting to the new system. Some select partners have participated in a trial since June 2025, but their identities have not been disclosed.
