Can I use the data/telephone functions from the mobile phone plan that I already have?

Please contact your mobile provider for information about the availability of the eSIM option with your existing mobile plan, as well as the ability to combine with other options, such as telephone functionality or data volume. Additional costs may be charged by your mobile provider. 

If you activate Personal eSIM, your mobile number will be used for incoming and outgoing calls via Personal eSIM in your vehicle. You can choose to deactivate telephone functions or hotspot functions via eSIM in the car’s settings, if needed.
