Been using Orbit eSIM for my business trips across Europe. The multi-country plans are a lifesaver - no more juggling multiple SIM cards. Love that I get local carrier quality internet in each country. Makes staying connected while traveling so much easier.
First time using eSIM for my vacation in Spain. The setup process was super easy - just scanned the QR code and was ready to go. The app guided me through everything step by step. Great coverage in Barcelona and Madrid, perfect for sharing travel photos and using maps.
Using Orbit eSIM for my semester abroad in Asia. The regional plans are perfect for weekend trips to neighboring countries. Great coverage across major cities, and the app makes it easy to manage my data usage. Been to Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan without any connectivity issues.
Switched from physical SIMs to Orbit eSIM for my frequent travels. The local carrier quality internet in each country is impressive. Clean app interface and transparent pricing. Would recommend for anyone looking to simplify their travel connectivity.
Device Compatibility FAQ
Everything you need to know about eSIM compatibility and setup on your device
To check eSIM compatibility: For iPhone - Go to Settings > General > About, scroll down to see if 'Digital SIM' or multiple IMEI numbers are listed. For Android - Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager or Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs to look for 'Add eSIM' option. You can also dial *#06# to see if multiple IMEI numbers appear (physical SIM + eSIM). Our compatibility checker tool provides instant verification for your specific device model.
eSIM-supported iPhones include: iPhone XS, XS Max, XR (2018) and all newer models including iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 series. iPhone 14 and later models in the US are eSIM-only (no physical SIM slot). All supported iPhones can store multiple eSIM profiles but only use one eSIM + one physical SIM simultaneously. Carrier-locked devices may have restrictions, so ensure your iPhone is unlocked or check with your carrier.
Major eSIM-supported Android devices include: Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Note 20 series, Z Fold/Flip series; Google Pixel 3 and newer; Huawei P40 series and newer; OnePlus 11 and newer; Xiaomi 12T Pro and newer. To activate: Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager > Add eSIM (Samsung) or Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network > Add Carrier (Google Pixel). Some manufacturers may have different menu paths.
Yes, installation processes vary: iOS (iPhone) - More standardized across models, usually Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan, scan QR code, follow prompts. Android - Varies by manufacturer: Samsung uses 'SIM Manager', Google Pixel uses 'Mobile Network', others may differ. iOS typically has more seamless activation, while Android may require additional APN configuration in some cases. Both platforms support QR code scanning and manual entry methods.
Carrier locks can affect eSIM functionality: Fully unlocked devices work without restrictions. Carrier-locked phones may reject eSIM profiles from other networks. Some carriers allow international eSIM usage even on locked devices. Check with your carrier about eSIM policies before traveling. We recommend using unlocked devices for guaranteed compatibility. If your phone is locked, contact your carrier to request unlocking or temporary international roaming permission.
Dual SIM with eSIM allows using your home SIM + travel eSIM simultaneously: Keep your home number active for calls/texts while using eSIM for data. Configure which SIM handles calls, texts, and data in your device settings. iPhone allows one physical + one eSIM active simultaneously. Many Android devices support similar functionality. You can receive calls on your home number while using affordable eSIM data, making it perfect for business travelers.
eSIM storage varies by device: Most iPhones can store 10+ eSIM profiles but use only one at a time (plus physical SIM). Android devices typically store 5-10+ profiles depending on manufacturer. Only one eSIM can be active at a time alongside your physical SIM. To manage: Go to SIM settings, select which eSIM to activate, deactivate unused profiles, delete profiles you no longer need. You can switch between stored eSIMs without re-downloading.
For non-eSIM devices, consider: Portable WiFi hotspots with local SIM cards, international roaming from your home carrier (more expensive), purchasing local physical SIM cards at your destination, upgrading to an eSIM-compatible device, using WiFi-only where available. While these alternatives exist, eSIM-compatible devices offer the most convenient and cost-effective solution for international travel.
Many newer devices support eSIM: Tablets - iPad Pro (2018+), iPad Air (2019+), iPad mini (2019+), Samsung Galaxy Tab S6+, Microsoft Surface Pro X. Smartwatches - Apple Watch Series 3+ (GPS + Cellular), Samsung Galaxy Watch series, Google Pixel Watch. Tablet eSIM works similarly to phones. Smartwatch eSIM often requires pairing with your phone plan or separate cellular subscription. Check device specifications and carrier support for specific models.
Common troubleshooting steps: Restart your device after eSIM installation, ensure mobile data is enabled for the eSIM line, check if data roaming is turned on, verify correct APN settings (usually automatic), confirm eSIM is selected as active data line, ensure you're in an area with network coverage, try manually selecting a network operator, check if your device has pending software updates. If issues persist, contact our 24/7 support for device-specific assistance.
eSIM transfer policies vary: Most eSIMs cannot be directly transferred between devices due to security features. You typically need to purchase a new eSIM for each device. Some carriers offer eSIM re-download options, but this varies by provider. When getting a new phone, contact us before activating - we may provide replacement eSIM or transfer assistance depending on timing and circumstances. Always complete your current trip before changing devices if possible.
Software requirements for optimal eSIM performance: iPhone - iOS 12.1 or later (iOS 14+ recommended for best experience), Android - Android 9.0 (API level 28) or later, manufacturer-specific eSIM support varies. Always update to the latest OS version before traveling for security and compatibility improvements. Older software versions may have limited eSIM functionality or security vulnerabilities. Check your device settings for available updates before installing your eSIM.
