How It Works and Compatibility

Using a Simify eSIM involves three steps: check device compatibility and buy the plan, follow the installation instructions and connect when you arrive at your destination. Installation is done through the Simify app, available for iOS and Android, which guides the user through automatic or manual installation. The company warns that the device must be eSIM-compatible and not carrier-locked, nor jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android). It also notes that iPhones from mainland China and those from Hong Kong and Macao, with the exception of some models, do not have eSIM capability. The app allows users to manage eSIMs and check coverage.
