Have questions?
We’ve got answers.

What is eSIM?

eSIM is digital SIM built into mobile devices. eSIM lets you activate a device on a cellular network without a physical SIM card.
Newer devices can have eSIM in addition to or instead of removable SIM cards.
See what type(s) of SIM your device has in the general Settings, usually under About or About Phone.

How do I know if my phone is eSIM compatible?

Download the My Verizon app to automatically check your phone’s eSIM compatibility. Or enter your device info here to check compatibility.

If your phone is not compatible and you need a new physical SIM card, you can visit a Verizon store or order a new one and we’ll ship it anywhere in the U.S.

For more information, visit our eSIM Support page.

Why do I need to give My Verizon app access to my location? In which locations can I activate eSIM?

You can only activate eSIM on your device while you are in the U.S. The My Verizon app needs access to your location settings to verify that you are in the U.S. You can turn it off later in app settings. 

If you are not in the U.S., you can prepare by downloading the My Verizon app, browsing Verizon Prepaid phone plans and checking your smartphone’s compatibility. Once you arrive in the United States, simply follow the steps in the My Verizon app to activate your device with Verizon Prepaid.

What payment methods can I use?

You can make a payment with a U.S.-based credit or debit card, as well as Apple Pay and PayPal.
