Does Safaricom eSIM Work With a Physical eSIM Adapter?

Enable eSIM on Any Connectivity Devices with Safaricom and Switch Adapter

A Safaricom eSIM profile can be loaded onto a Switch adapter only when the 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 Safaricom

Safaricom offers eSIM activation for compatible devices. Safaricom controls plan eligibility, identity checks and activation details, so confirm the current process with the carrier before loading a profile onto an adapter.

Can You Use Safaricom 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.

Configure the Adapter on a Compatible Device

Insert the Switch eSIM Adapter into a supported physical SIM slot.
Use the Switch Android app or Bluetooth reader to configure a supported eSIM profile.

Load and Test the Profile

Use activation details supplied by Safaricom.
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.
