eSIM compatible phones and devices for business

With eSIM-compatible devices, Verizon is making it more efficient than ever for you to remotely activate and provision these mobile devices for your team, whether you have one or many devices.

What is eSIM?

An eSIM is an embedded SIM card inside your device. With eSIM, there's no physical SIM (pSIM) card that you need to insert or swap. On devices that have both pSIM and eSIM technology, you may be able to have a different phone number on each SIM and use a local data plan on your eSIM when traveling abroad without swapping your Verizon SIM.

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

An eSIM is an embedded SIM inside your device. With eSIM, there's no physical SIM card that you need to insert. Simply turn on the new device, connect to Wi-Fi, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation. Like a traditional SIM card, the eSIM stores data that is needed for your device to connect to and use the Verizon network.

eSIMs offer several benefits for businesses:

  • Convenience and cost savings: With eSIM, you can have multiple lines on a single device, eliminating the need for separate devices for work and personal use. This saves money and provides the convenience of toggling between lines on your phone.

  • Remote service management: eSIMs allow businesses to change or update wireless service remotely on multiple lines, making it easier to manage service for employees.

  • Hassle-free international travel: Instead of buying a new physical SIM card when traveling abroad, eSIMs let you easily add an international plan to your device. This provides flexibility and saves you the hassle of visiting a telecom store.

At this time, Verizon offers a selection of devices that support physical SIMs; however, it’s been predicted that by 2025, there will be 2 billion eSIM-enabled devices globally as eSIM enables increased security and an improved customer experience. We encourage customers to start adopting updated policies to support eSIM devices in their fleet.

eSIMs offer several advantages for international travel:

  • Easy switching to local operators: With eSIM, you can switch to local operators easily when traveling abroad, eliminating the need to buy a new physical SIM card in each country.

  • Avoiding high fees: By using eSIM, you can avoid exorbitant fees traditionally associated with using cell phones overseas. eSIM provides a seamless and efficient way to connect to local networks in foreign countries.

If your mobile device has more than one SIM, each SIM can have a unique mobile number. SIM can be stored on either:

  • A removable, physical SIM card

  • A digital, embedded SIM (eSIM)

  • Dual SIM devices have 2 (or more*) SIM's. A Dual SIM device could have 2 SIM cards, 2 eSIM's, or any combination.

*Manufacturers determine how many and what type of SIM a device can have.

If your device has more than 1 SIM and is capable of Dual SIM/Dual Standby (DSDS), you can have multiple numbers on 1 phone. With DSDS, each SIM can be activated on a separate mobile phone number. Options include:

  • Each number can be with a different carrier (domestic or foreign).

  • Business and personal numbers on the same device.

  • Numbers from different accounts or different plans on one smartphone.

Note: The availability of these option may vary by device. For laptops with Dual SIM, you can only use one SIM at a time.
Important: You can only use data on one SIM at at time.

Check the settings on your device to see what kind of SIM your device has:

  • Apple - Settings > General > About

  • Google - Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network

  • Samsung smartphones - Settings > Connections > SIM card manager

To support 2 numbers on 1 device, the device must have multiple SIMs and be (DSDS) capable. These devices can have 2 numbers on one phone (or tablet):
