Compatibility

Not all devices support eSIM. The most recent models do, but if you have an older phone it's better to check first.

It's new technology

Activation is quick and easy but, if you’ve never used an eSIM, you might need a little extra time to learn how it works.

Changing devices can take longer

Transferring an eSIM to another phone requires a few additional steps compared to a physical SIM.
