About this tag
Microsoft is retiring the Mobile Plans app in Windows, shifting plan discovery and purchase to carrier websites while keeping eSIM provisioning inside Windows Settings. The transition will take effect when the Mobile Plans app is removed and support ends in late February 2026. This change consolidates commerce with carriers and positions Windows as a secure provisioning surface for eSIM profiles and device-identifier consent. The retirement raises questions for users of eSIM-enabled laptops, OEMs, and mobile operators about migration, privacy, and the future of PC cellular provisioning. Insiders already have early access to the new Settings-based provisioning experience.
