Check your phone is compatible with eSIM before grabbing your plan!
If you are going overseas for a business trip or an exciting adventure, there is a lot to get done and organise. One of those things is your mobile data. Many Kiwis are choosing eSIMs to connect to mobile data when they jump off the plane. There are so many benefits of eSIMs. They are convenient, easy to activate, reliable, and budget-friendly. These digital SIM solutions are very effective and will get you connected as soon as you arrive at your destination.Â
But what phones are compatible with eSIM?
Generally, it’s a good idea to check with the manufacturer to confirm that your phone is compatible with eSIM. You don’t want to purchase an eSIM plan and then realise you can’t activate it on your device! Most modern smartphones have eSIM compatibility, but it’s a good idea to check. If you have an older model, you might not have compatibility.Â
Simply enter in the destination you are travelling to, and you can click on the tool on the plans page to check if your phone is compatible. It’s that easy!Â
