Can I switch from eSIM to physical SIM? My new phone doesn’t support eSIM

I was using an eSIM on my old phone, but my new device doesn’t support eSIM at all. Is it possible to switch back to a physical SIM? And what’s the process?

Your new physical SIM will now be active, replacing your eSIM.

Yep — I ran into the same thing when I upgraded to a phone that doesn’t support eSIM.

I contacted Infimobile support, and they confirmed you can switch back to a physical SIM without any problem.

Here’s how it worked for me:

  1. I gave them my IMEI and confirmed my shipping address.

  2. They deactivated the old eSIM and sent me a new physical SIM for free (shipping charges may apply depending on the case).

  3. Once it arrived, I popped it into the new phone and activated it through the dashboard.
