What phones are compatible with eSIM?

eSIM is a newer technology, so it isn’t supported on many older phones. As a general rule, devices released before 2019 typically do not support eSIM. Before ordering an eSIM, be sure to check our list of supported devices to confirm compatibility.

 

Physical SIM cards are Available

If your phone doesn’t support eSIM, don’t worry! RedPocket Mobile offers physical SIM cards as well, so you can still enjoy our affordable cell phone plans.

Alternatively, you may consider purchasing a new flagship iPhone from redpocket.com/shop to take advantage of the latest eSIM technology.

 
Compatible eSIM phones

The list below provides a general guide to eSIM-compatible phones. It is not exhaustive. While most brands support eSIM starting with the generation listed, actual compatibility may vary depending on the specific model and region.

For example, the Xiaomi 12T Pro supports eSIM, while the regular Xiaomi 12T, released shortly afterward, does not.

Before ordering an eSIM, it’s best to consult your user manual, check your phone’s technical specifications, or look directly in your phone settings to confirm that your phone is eSIM compatible.
