How to change the email on your account
To change the email on your Eflexsim account, sign in, go to Account โ Account details on the Profile tab, press Change email next to your address, enter the new one and save. We send a verification link to the new email. Click it to complete the change โ until you do, nothing changes and your old address still signs you in. The old address gets a notification email so you know the change happened (security measure). All your existing orders, wallet credit, and settings move with the account; only the login email changes. If you've lost access to the old email and can't sign in, see the account recovery flow at the bottom.
Below: the step-by-step process, what stays and what changes, and what to do if you can't sign in to start.
The step-by-step process
Assuming you can still sign in with your current email:
- Sign in at eflexsim.com.
- Go to Account โ Account details, on the Profile tab.
- Your email is shown read-only with a Change email link next to it. Press that.
- Enter the new email address in the form that opens.
- Press Save.
- Open the new address's inbox and click the verification link we send there.
- The change completes. From then on you sign in with the new address.
You are not asked for your password to do this. What protects the change is that the new address has to be confirmed from its own inbox, and the old address is told it happened.
The old address gets a notification email (no action needed) so you know about it either way.
The whole process takes about two minutes, most of which is waiting for the email.
What stays the same after a change
Everything tied to your account moves with you:
- Order history. All past orders remain attached to the account.
- Wallet credit. Referral rewards, refund credit, promotional bonuses โ all stay.
- Saved cards. Cards saved with our payment provider stay linked.
- Active eSIMs. Any plans currently in your phone keep working; they were never tied to the email address anyway.
- Marketing preferences. Your opt-in/opt-out settings transfer.
- Cashback tier. Your lifetime spend and rate are unaffected.
- Account creation date. Used for some referral or anniversary credits.
The only thing that changes is the email address used for sign-in and for transactional emails from Eflexsim.
What changes after the email update
The new email address starts being used for:
- Sign-in (the old one no longer works for login).
- Receipts and order confirmations.
- eSIM delivery emails (for new purchases).
- Transactional notifications (data running low, plan expiring, etc.).
- Password reset emails.
- Security alerts (new login from new device, etc.).
The old email address is purged from active use. We retain a record of the change for security purposes but it can't be used to access the account again.
Why we send a notification to the old address
When you change your email, we email the old address letting them know the change happened.
If you initiated the change, you can ignore the notification (or use it as a record).
If you DIDN'T initiate the change but received this notification, your account may have been compromised. Email support@eflexsim.com immediately from the old address. We can pause the change or reverse it depending on timing.
This is a standard account-security pattern. The new-email verification confirms the new owner can receive mail; the old-email notification gives the previous owner a chance to flag unauthorized changes.
If you've lost access to the old email
You can't directly initiate an email change if you can't sign in. The path is account recovery:
- Go to eflexsim.com โ Forgot password (or Sign in help).
- Enter the email you remember using.
- Follow the recovery flow.
If the email is truly inaccessible (closed account, forgotten password to the email itself), see lost access to your email for the support-assisted recovery path. We require some form of identity verification (last 4 digits of the card used, order date, order ID, etc.) to confirm you're the legitimate account holder before changing the email manually.
Special case: changing email to one already in use
If the new email already has an Eflexsim account attached:
- The change fails with "this email is already in use."
- We can't merge accounts automatically.
Options:
- Use a different email address for the change.
- Delete the duplicate account first if it has nothing important in it. See how to delete your Eflexsim account.
- Email support@eflexsim.com to discuss merging if both accounts have history you want to consolidate. Merging is a manual support operation.
What about email forwarding rules?
If you forward your old Eflexsim email through a forwarding rule to a new address, the rule doesn't change the account email itself. You need to do the explicit change-email flow above. Once the change completes, you can drop the forwarding rule.
Frequently asked questions
QWill I lose my order history if I change my email?
No. Order history is tied to the account, not the email. All past orders remain visible after the change.
QDo I need to update the email on past receipts?
Past receipts keep the email address they were originally sent to. That's a record of what happened at the time. Future receipts use the new email.
QCan I change my email back to the old one later?
Yes, as long as you still have access to the old email address. Repeat the change process in reverse.
QHow long does the verification link last?
24 hours typically. If it expires before you click, request a new verification email from your account settings.
QWill my friends' referrals still credit me after a change?
Yes. Referral programs track by account ID, not email. Active referral codes you've shared continue working.
QCan I use the same email for multiple Eflexsim accounts?
No. Each email address can only be attached to one account at a time.
QWhat if the verification email doesn't arrive?
Check spam at the new address. Verify you typed the new email correctly. Request a new verification link. If still nothing, email support@eflexsim.com from your current email.
