My phone isn't compatible — now what?

If your phone doesn't support eSIM, you have a few options:

  • Use a local SIM card at your destination — buy one at the airport or a phone shop
  • Use your home carrier's roaming plan — convenient but often expensive
  • Use a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot device (MiFi) — some support eSIM
  • Consider upgrading to an eSIM-compatible device before your next trip
