• In good standing with your previous carrier
Most modern iPhones, Samsung Galaxy devices, and Google Pixel phones are compatible.

It’s the simplest way to switch.
WE’RE HERE TO HELP
Do I need to unlock my phone first?
Yes. Your phone must be unlocked from your current carrier before activation.
Will I lose my contacts or data?
No. Switching carriers does not erase your phone.
How long does activation take?
eSIM activations are often immediate. Physical SIM activations take just minutes once inserted.
Can I switch if I still owe my current carrier?
Your phone must be unlocked and in good standing before switching.
