What’s an eSIM?
Let’s start with the basics. An eSIM (short for embedded SIM) performs the same job as a standard SIM card—it tells a mobile network who you are—but it’s soldered directly onto your phone’s circuit board and managed entirely through software.
eSIM vs. Traditional SIM
| Physical SIM | eSIM |
|---|---|
| Removable plastic chip you insert into a tray. | Permanently built into the device’s hardware. |
| Locked to the carrier that issued it. | Carrier-agnostic—download a plan from any supporting provider. |
| Can be misplaced, damaged, or stolen. | Cannot be lost; can be erased or replaced digitally. |
In short, an eSIM gives you the same network credentials without the fiddly little card—and the freedom to switch plans with just a few taps.
Why This List Matters
eSIM adoption has exploded over the past five years. Apple has gone eSIM-only in major markets, Samsung now includes eSIM from its mid-range A-series upward, and laptop OEMs like Microsoft and Lenovo have added embedded SIMs to keep remote workers connected. Keeping track of every model is tough—so we’ve done the homework for you.
Below you’ll find every commercially released device confirmed to work with USIMS data plans through January 2025. If you own one of these models, simply download the USIMS app, pick a plan, and connect in 120+ destinations without roaming fees or plastic SIM cards.
