Now with an eSIM-compatible device, you can bring your phone to Xfinity Mobile and easily switch from home. Let’s help you get started.
Step 1. What's eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM that eliminates the need for a physical SIM card. With eSIM, you can quickly and easily transfer a mobile phone to an existing or new mobile plan, all digitally. You can even store multiple eSIMs on the same device and use two phone numbers at the same time.
Step 2. Check your phone's compatibility
See if your phone can work on Xfinity Mobile, choose a data option, and easily activate your phone with an eSIM-compatible device. With eSIM, you’re all set up with this step.
Not compatible? No problem. We can send you a physical SIM card with free 2-day shipping, or you can pick one up at an Xfinity Store near you.
Check compatibility here.

Still have questions? Read on for frequently asked questions about eSIM.
What is an eSIM-only device?
An eSIM-only device does not have a physical slot for a customer to insert a Sim card (pSIM). The Apple Watch is an example of an eSIM-only device. The Apple Watch IMEI can only be paired with a digital SIM (eSIM). If you purchased an iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro model, your iPhone does not have a physical SIM tray, and will only activate with an eSIM.

What is a dual SIM device?
A dual SIM device has two IMEIs that can support a Sim card (pSIM) or a digital SIM (eSIM). Most dual Sim devices support a pSIM on IMEI1 and an eSIM on IMEI2. iPhone 13 and the 3rd generation iPhone SE can support both pSIM on either IMEI.
A dual SIM device allows you to have two different cellular plans on your pSIM and eSIM, even from different carriers. When traveling abroad, you can get an eSIM without swapping out your Xfinity Mobile pSIM.
Does Xfinity sell dual SIM phones?
Yes. We sell a variety of phones from the most popular brands. Some of these phones can support both eSIM and a SIM card.
Which devices are eSIM-compatible?
iPhone 13 series, iPhone 14 series, iPhone SE (3rd generation), and Samsung Galaxy S24 are eSIM-compatible devices with Xfinity Mobile. If you purchased an iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro model, your iPhone does not have a physical slot for a SIM card (pSIM), and will only activate with an eSIM.
