Will an eSIM Work on Your Phone?
To switch to Cidmobile, you must have a phone that is eSIM compatible.
If you don’t know, an eSIM is a digital SIM that works like a physical SIM card. The term, “eSIM” stands for “embedded SIM.” Unlike the traditional plastic SIM card, an eSIM does not need to be inserted into your device. Instead, it can be downloaded directly onto your phone and provides the same cellular connection. Similar to a physical SIM card, the eSIM stores the data that enables your device to connect to cellular service and use your plan on the network.
Please review the list below of eSIM compatible devices below, before you buy a plan!
