Absolutely! If you have a device compatible with PureTalk's eSIM, you can certainly switch from a physical SIM to an eSIM. Contact our Customer Support department by dialing 611 from your PureTalk phone or by calling (877) 820-7873. If possible, please call using a different phone, since some steps in the process may require your device to be turned off or restarted, which could end your call.

The SIM type you need depends on your device model.

If you buy a phone from PureTalk: Your phone includes a physical SIM unless it is eSIM-only. For eSIM-only phones, you will download the eSIM during activation.

If you bring your own phone: eSIM requires a phone compatible with PureTalk eSIM. Check your device on our eSIM page. If your phone is not eSIM compatible, you will need a physical SIM.

If you want to confirm your phone works with PureTalk service, use the Compatibility Checker on our homepage.

PureTalk's physical SIMs are universal and include standard, micro, and nano sizes all in one. This means you can make the SIM the size you need.
