A Note from StaffTraveler

We put together this article to help out anyone with phones that don’t support eSIM. Keep in mind that StaffTraveler doesn’t officially support non-eSIM devices, so we can’t provide support for them. If you need help with the eSIM.me adapter and software, you can contact eSIM.me at https://esim.me/contact.

Also, the eSIM.me adapter is only for Android phones. While it’s working now, we can’t guarantee it’ll always work perfectly. Use it at your own risk.
