What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM profile loaded onto a chip already inside your phone. No physical card. Activation is a one-time QR scan.
How an eSIM differs from a physical SIM
- No card to lose or break — the profile lives in firmware.
- Multiple profiles on one device — keep your home SIM active and add a travel eSIM next to it.
- Instant activation — scan the QR, no shipping, no SIM-swap.
Which devices support eSIM
- iPhone XS, XR, and every iPhone since.
- Google Pixel 3 and newer.
- Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer (region-dependent).
- Most 2020+ Android flagships and many recent mid-range models.
