What If My Phone Doesn't Support eSIM?
If your phone was made before 2019 or is a budget model without eSIM, your options are:
- Upgrade your phone — most phones from 2020+ support eSIM, and prices for 2-3 year old models are very reasonable
- Use a local SIM card — buy a physical SIM at your destination's airport
- Use pocket WiFi — rent a portable WiFi device (though eSIM is more convenient and affordable)
The Future: eSIM-Only Is Coming
The industry is moving toward eSIM-only phones. Apple started with the iPhone 14 (US) in 2022, and by 2026, multiple manufacturers have followed. Within the next few years, the physical SIM tray will likely disappear from most flagship phones worldwide.
Getting comfortable with eSIM now means you're prepared for where the industry is heading.
