eSIM is short for Embedded SIM and is a digital version of a SIM card. eSIM allows you to connect to your network without having to deal with a physical chip. Instead of storing all that necessary information on a SIM card, you can download that data to your device via the internet, activate your eSIM, and connect to your network in a completely virtual way.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Some benefits of eSIM include:

<ul>
	<li>eSIM simplifies the connectivity process, giving you more control over your digital experience. </li>
	<li>eSIM is embedded into your phone and can&rsquo;t be removed. This means that if your eSIM device is ever stolen you can disable it remotely, adding an additional layer of security than you might get with a physical SIM.</li>
	<li>For many eSIM-compatible devices, you don&rsquo;t have to order a SIM card or go into a store to get one. It&rsquo;s simple to download eSIM over Wi-Fi&reg;, then activate it so you can start using your device quickly and securely on AT&amp;T&rsquo;s network.</li>
	<li>Some eSIM-compatible devices can support more than one phone number, so you can set up both a work and personal profile on a single phone.</li>
	<li>If you are traveling internationally, you may be able to activate an eSIM for the country you&rsquo;re visiting.</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://www.att.com/wireless/what-is-esim/">Learn more about eSIM, how it works, the benefits and how to get started</a>.

It depends. Multiple popular brands have phones that use eSIMs, including Apple, Google, Samsung, and Motorola, but there are also many phones that will require a traditional SIM card.

Your device manufacturer should be able to provide you with information on your phone&rsquo;s specifications, including whether or not it is eSIM capable.

Not necessarily, however, there are advantages to using an eSIM. 
 
Here are some of the advantages:

<ul>
	<li>If your device supports over-the-air eSIM download, it&rsquo;s easier to switch carriers, and activation can sometimes be faster because select devices allow you to download your eSIM and start using your device within minutes.</li>
	<li>For devices that are dual-SIM enabled, you can have two phone numbers/phone plans set up on a single device.</li>
	<li>You won&rsquo;t have to worry about throwing away old SIM cards.</li>
</ul>
