Which Devices Support eSIM?
An eSIM-compatible device is any smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, or laptop that supports embedded SIM (eSIM) technology. Unlike traditional SIM cards, eSIMs are built into the device and can be activated digitally without needing a physical SIM card. Many modern devices from brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, and Huawei support eSIM, making it easier for travelers and frequent switchers to connect to mobile networks worldwide.
