eSIM compatibility

Does the iPhone X series support eSIM?

Yes. Every iPhone X series model is eSIM-compatible, so you can install a Pelesim travel eSIM without swapping your physical SIM card.

Every iPhone X series model works with eSIM

  • Apple iPhone XR
  • Apple iPhone XS
  • Apple iPhone XS Max
  • Apple iPhone XS Max Global
  • Your phone must be carrier-unlocked to install a travel eSIM.
  • iPhones purchased in mainland China do not support eSIM, and only select models from Hong Kong and Macao are eSIM-compatible. If your iPhone was bought in these regions, verify support before purchasing.

Ready to set up an eSIM on your iPhone X series?

Installation takes a few minutes with an internet connection, and your plan only starts when you connect at your destination - so install before you fly.
