What is an eSIM?
eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM card that allows you to download and use a data plan directly on your device without a physical SIM. It's a more convenient way to stay connected while traveling.
To use eSIM, your device must meet two requirements:
- The hardware must support eSIM functionality
- The device must be unlocked from your carrier
To check if your device supports eSIM, you can refer to the official list of compatible devices or follow the respective tutorials to verify eSIM compatibility on iOS or Android.
