eSIM info

WHAT IS eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone.

Instead of inserting a physical SIM card, your phone downloads your Switch plan directly.

That means:

  • No waiting for shipping
  • No swapping cards
  • No plastic SIM tray

Just activate and connect.

HOW eSIM ACTIVATION WORKS

  1. Choose your plan — Pay As You Go ($25) or Unlimited ($50)
  2. Confirm your device supports eSIM
  3. Complete checkout
  4. Scan the activation QR code or follow on-screen instructions

Most activations are completed in minutes.

DO I NEED A SPECIAL PLAN?

No.

Both Pay As You Go and Unlimited support eSIM on compatible devices.

Your plan doesn’t change — only the way your phone connects.

DEVICE COMPATIBILITY

Many newer smartphones support eSIM, including:

  • Recent iPhone models
  • Recent Samsung Galaxy devices
  • Google Pixel devices

To confirm compatibility, enter your IMEI or device details.

WHY CHOOSE eSIM?

eSIM is ideal if you:

  • Want to activate instantly
  • Are switching from another carrier quickly
  • Are traveling and need service fast
  • Prefer not to use a physical SIM

It’s also convenient if you use dual SIM – for example, one line for personal and one for work.

PHYSICAL SIM STILL AVAILABLE

Prefer a traditional SIM card?

You can still order a physical SIM during checkout.

Both options connect to the same Switch network.
