Mobile internet for everyone and everything
Turn the iPad Mobile in 5 Minutes – With the eSIM
It’ s a great feeling to hold a new iPad in your hands. Just ordered online, delivered the next day. It’s set up in no time and you can start surfing. At least at home with WiFi. But what if you want to take your tablet with you to read the newspaper on the train or work in a café?Then you better have purchased an iPad with ‘Wifi + Cellular’ so that you can connect it to the mobile Internet. If that’s the case for you, you can make your iPad mobile in just 5 minutes. Thanks to the eSIM.
Does My iPad Support eSIM?
One prerequisite for mobile use of your tablet is, of course, that it is eSIM-capable. The current generations of the iPad have an integrated eSIM.
The most common eSIM-enabled tablets in Switzerland currently are:
- Apple iPad 10
- Apple iPad Mini 5
- Apple iPad Pro 11, 12
- Microsoft Surface Pro X
- Samsung Galaxy Book S
To be sure, you can also simply check in the device’s settings whether an eSIM is embedded. Open the ‘Cellular data’ tab under settings and look for the function ‘Add a New Plan’. If this function is visible, consider yourself lucky: Your iPad is eSIM-enabled!

In the future, all Apple devices will probably use the eSIM exclusively, since Apple will probably abandon the physical SIM card soon.
How Do I Get My eSIM Profile?
If you want to add a mobile plan for your iPad, you will be asked for a QR code. At Digital Republic, you can get your eSIM, or rather a personal QR code with your eSIM profile, in three easy steps.
- Register: Create your account on Digital Republic.
- Scan QR code & get started: When you have finished setting up the eSIM, a QR code will be displayed directly in your account. Scan it with your iPad to add the data plan.
In just 5 minutes from registration to activation of the eSIM, you are connected to the mobile Internet. If something doesn’t work, just call us at 044 500 49 55 and we’ll be happy to help!

The Development of Our Ideal Cell Phone Plans for Switzerland
The path to the current Trio Flat Mobile Swiss, Flat Mobile, and Flat Mobile Plus cell phone plans is also an example of how Digital Republic wants to function as a provider and where its priorities lie. We have quickly transformed ourselves from a pure data SIM provider to a cell phone plan provider. And we have completely rethought the development process.

The Affordable Mobile Provider With Award-Winning Service
When it comes to mobile providers in Switzerland, the wheat is often separated from the chaff when it comes to price. Either you pay little for your subscription and do without services like support or 5G, or you go to one of the big providers and pay more than you might like. At Digital Republic, you get both!

Why 5G Is Not Always Equally Fast
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes suddenly 4G again. The network indicator on your smartphone suggests that it is connected to the internet via either 4G or 5G. In fact, a complex mechanism and a lot of communication between your smartphone and the network is taking place in the background to ensure that you always have the best possible connection.
