eSIM-Compatible Devices
Before you embark on your eSIM journey, be sure to check if your device is compatible.
Compatibility is determined by your device manufacturer or, in some cases, the local carrier where you purchased your phone. (For instance, if your phone is tied to a carrier contract, it may be locked and unable to use eSIM.)
Check out the list of popular iOS and Android devices that are known to be eSIM-compatible.
