What do you need to install an eSIM ?
In order to install an eSIM onto your iPhone, you’ll need to make sure you have the following:
-
An eSIM-compatible phone. All iPhone models from the XS/XR onward support eSIM technology. However, some iPhones manufactured and sold in certain countries, such as mainland China, won’t support eSIMs.
-
A carrier-unlocked phone. If you plan on using an eSIM while traveling, you’ll need to make sure that your iPhone is carrier unlocked (i.e., able to connect to cellular networks outside of your home country).
