Flexibility
With digital technology, an eSIM allows for convenient and rapid service activation.
Learn what an eSIM is, how it works, the advantages and activation steps with Cricket.
An eSIM or embedded SIM is built into your phone, allowing you switch to Cricket and activate service easier and faster. Here's why.
Before bringing your device, you must have an unlocked, eSIM-capable, network compatible device.

The best way to find out if your phone is eSIM-capable and compatibility with the Cricket network, using your Device ID (IMEI) you can check on the compatibility checker.
Any Apple device with iOS 10.3 or later including iPhone XS, newer models and iPhone SE 2nd and 3rd generation is eSIM-capable.
Samsung devices from 2022 onward and all Google Pixel 6 or newer models generally support eSIM-capable; however, there may be exceptions.
Installing eSIM is quick and easy. Just follow steps for your device, you'll be on the Cricket network in no time.
If you’ve already purchased service, look for a push notification on your device, then, follow the instructions below to download your eSIM profile.

With an eSIM-compatible device, activation can happen within minutes after switching to Cricket.
No worries! If this occurred after a "hard reset" of your phone, upon re-start, select "Keep Your SIM" or "Keep Your Cellular Plan" shown on your device to retain your eSIM profile. Please do not select "Delete All" or it will delete your eSIM and you might have to purchase a new one. At this time, with Cricket you cannot transfer your eSIM from one Android device to another Android device nor transfer between an Apple device and an Android device. If you want to bring your own device, it must be compatibility with the Cricket network, is unlocked from the previous provider, hasn’t be reported lost or stolen, and eSIM-capable. Use the Cricket Compatibility Checker to confirm if your phone is eSIM capable and if it will work on our network. Si ya eres parte de la red de Cricket y tu SIM física (pSIM) está insertada en un iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR o posterior desbloqueado, puedes convertir tu plan celular a uno de eSIM desde los ajustes de tu iPhone.
