Does the Apple iPad 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 support eSIM?

Good news: the Wi-Fi + Cellular version of the Apple iPad 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 supports eSIM. Add a Quibity eSIM and get online abroad without looking for a local SIM card.

  • Wi-Fi only iPads have no mobile connection, so they cannot use an eSIM.
  • The phone must be unlocked: a carrier-locked phone cannot add a new eSIM.

    If you can add an eSIM there, the phone supports it. Menu names change a little from brand to brand.

Unlocked phones only. A phone locked to a carrier cannot add an eSIM from another provider, even when the model supports eSIM. Ask your carrier to unlock it before you travel.
