→ Browse eSIM PlansWhat is eSIM and How Does It Work?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your device that eliminates the need for a physical SIM card. Instead of inserting a tiny plastic card, you download a carrier profile directly to your phone. This technology was introduced in consumer smartphones with the Apple iPhone XS in 2018 and has since become standard across all major manufacturers including Samsung, Google, Huawei, Xiaomi, Motorola, Sony, Oppo, OnePlus, and more.
eSIM technology lets you activate a cellular plan without visiting a store. Scan a QR code, enter an activation code, or use a carrier app to connect in minutes. This makes eSIM invaluable for international travelers who need instant connectivity upon arrival at their destination.
Why Use eSIM for International Travel?
Traditional roaming costs a fortune, and buying a local SIM at the airport means queuing and swapping your home SIM. With CelleSIM, download your travel data plan before boarding. Once you land, turn on the eSIM profile and enjoy local-rate data. Your home number stays active on your physical SIM or second eSIM slot for calls and SMS.
eSIM vs Physical SIM: Key Differences
Physical SIMs are removable plastic chips; eSIMs are embedded in the device's motherboard storing multiple profiles simultaneously. Physical SIMs need a tray and ejector tool; eSIMs are managed through device settings. Modern phones like iPhone 17 Air and US iPhone 14+ are eSIM-only with no SIM tray. By 2025, over half of all smartphones sold worldwide support eSIM, and 98% of mobile operators globally now offer eSIM activation.
How Many eSIM Profiles Can My Phone Store?
iPhones from iPhone XS onward store 8+ eSIM profiles with 2 active simultaneously. Samsung Galaxy S25 series stores up to 20 profiles. Google Pixel devices support multiple stored profiles. Only 1-2 can be active at the same time. You can switch between stored profiles in your device settings without needing to re-download them.
eSIM-Only Phones: The Future of Connectivity
Apple's iPhone 14 (US models, 2022) was the first mainstream eSIM-only phone. The iPhone 17 series expanded this to Japan, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East. The iPhone 17 Air became the first globally eSIM-only iPhone, even in China. Google's Pixel 10 (US) also went eSIM-only. By 2030, eSIM adoption is forecasted to reach 75% of all smartphone connections worldwide, with the market exceeding $4.4 billion in value.
