Does Cosmote eSIM Work With a Physical eSIM Adapter?

Enable eSIM on Any Connectivity Devices with Cosmote and Switch Adapter

A Cosmote eSIM profile can be loaded onto a Switch adapter only when the profile activation method, target device and network setup are compatible. Switch Pro and Switch Max can store up to 15 profiles, but a physical SIM slot alone does not guarantee support.

About Cosmote

COSMOTE introduces its eSIM service, enabling customers to connect to its mobile network without the need for a physical SIM card. With eSIM, users can activate mobile plans directly on compatible smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches by scanning a unique QR code provided at purchase. An internet connection is required for activation, and the process is simple: connect your device to Wi-Fi, scan the QR code, and your eSIM profile will be automatically installed. COSMOTE's eSIM service is available for both locals and travelers, offering the same plans as physical SIMs, for seamless connectivity across Greece.

Can You Use Cosmote eSIM With a Physical eSIM Adapter?

A compatible Switch adapter can store up to 15 eSIM profiles for use in supported devices. Before ordering, check your device compatibility; Android users can then review Switch Pro as the app-managed option.

  • Use the Switch Android app or Bluetooth reader to configure a supported eSIM profile.

Load and Test the Profile

  • Use activation details supplied by the eSIM provider.
  • Select the stored profile, then confirm the target device connects with the required network settings.

Keep Multiple Numbers in One Place

  • Avoid constantly changing physical SIM cards.
  • Store and manage up to 15 eSIM profiles within the intuitive Switch app, switching between them in seconds.
