According to Smart, the technology enables non-eSIM-capable Android devices to store and manage multiple eSIMs without the need to purchase an expensive smartphone with built-in eSIMs.

It is said to be great for hassle-free roaming, and if you simply want to use an eSIM on your Android device. This supports up to 5G networks.

How to use the Smart eSIM adapter?

• Insert the device into your phone
• Download the Smart Multi SIM App

It works with a companion mobile app on Google Play Store, installs up to five (5) eSIM profiles, and conveniently manages and switches between these eSIMs for personal, business, or travel use.

It also has access to the Smart Trave app for convenient and affordable data roaming, and even sign up to KiQ, Smart's eSIM-based service.
