Erasing eSIM through Phonecheck
IMPORTANT: Without an internet connection on the mobile device, the request to deactivate the eSIM cannot be sent, and the eSIM will remain active on your device. Therefore, an internet connection is required on the device in order to erase an eSIM.
To erase an eSIM on a device, you need an internet connection as the process involves sending a request to the mobile network provider to deactivate the eSIM. This request is sent over the internet to the provider's servers, which then update their records to reflect that the eSIM has been deactivated.
