Verizon App Now Allows eSIM Activation on iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR

It is now possible to use the My Verizon app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-verizon/id416023011?mt=8) to activate eSIM service on an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, or iPhone XR in the United States.

The app was updated today to allow Verizon customers to purchase a cellular plan for the eSIM line of an iPhone without needing to visit a Verizon store. The in-app process should be more straightforward and convenient.

Verizon (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/12/05/verizon-esim-december-7/) and AT&T rolled out eSIM support last week (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/12/05/iphone-esim-att-rogers-fido-canada/), while T-Mobile is expected to offer an in-app solution (https://www.pcmag.com/news/365357/exclusive-heres-the-first-view-of-t-mobiles-esim-app-for) for setting up eSIM later this month (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209096).





Other carriers offering eSIM service include Bell, Fido, Rogers, Virgin Mobile, and Lucky Mobile in Canada, Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone in Germany, T-Mobile in Austria and Czech Republic, Hrvatski Telekom in Croatia, 3 in Denmark and Sweden, Telia in Finland and Estonia, EE in the United Kingdom, and many others (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209096).





iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR models have both a physical SIM and an eSIM that allows for dual SIM, dual standby. This means you can have two lines of service on one iPhone, which is useful for purchasing data-only plans while traveling or having personal and business lines on a single iPhone.





<strong>Update:</strong> This process appears to be limited to customers of other carriers who are looking to add Verizon service via the eSIM.
