Which Devices Support eSIM?

Updated: March 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of mobile technology, eSIM has emerged as a revolutionary feature, offering users a more convenient and flexible way to manage their cellular connections. Unlike traditional physical SIM cards, an embedded SIM (eSIM) is built directly into the device, eliminating the need for swapping cards when switching carriers. With an increasing number of devices adopting this technology, it's essential to know which gadgets are eSIM-compatible. In this article, we will provide you with a comprehensive list of devices supporting eSIM technology as of March 2024.

eSIM Compatibility Explained

Before we dive into the list, let's understand what makes a device eSIM-compatible. For a device to use an eSIM, it must be carrier-unlocked and have the necessary hardware and software to support this technology. Keep in mind that country and carrier-specific restrictions may apply, so it's always best to verify with your carrier or device manufacturer.

Easiest Way to Understand if Your Device Supports eSIM

Please go into your Device Settings and click on "Cellular (Mobile)" on iOS, or on "Connections --> SIM Manager" on Android.

If you see the "Add eSIM" option, it means your device is eSIM-capable. As long as your device is not carrier-locked, you can use eSIMs.
