eSIM Compatible Phones 2026

An eSIM (embedded Subscriber Identity Module) is a digital SIM card that is built into your device. Instead of a physical, swappable card, your phone's identity information can be downloaded and activated wirelessly by your carrier. This makes it easier to switch carriers or add a second line to your phone.

The easiest way to check is to browse our list above. You can also check your phone's settings. On an iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular. If you see an option to "Add Cellular Plan" or "Add eSIM," your phone is compatible. On Android, the path is often Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs, where you might see an option to add a new eSIM.

eSIMs offer several benefits. They make it quicker and easier to switch providers. You can store multiple eSIM profiles on one device and switch between them, which is great for travelers who want to use local plans. They also can't be physically lost or damaged like a traditional SIM card.

Many carriers offer the option to convert a physical SIM to an eSIM. This process can usually be done through your carrier's website, app, or by contacting their customer support. The specific steps will vary by provider.
