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 device 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.

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 slot for a SIM card (pSIM), and will only activate with an eSIM.

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.
