AT&T Prepaid eSIM
Learn how to download your AT&T Prepaid® eSIM to your phone, tablet, or hotspot.
What is an eSIM?
Like a physical SIM card, an eSIM connects your device to a wireless (cellular) network. The main difference? You download an eSIM to your device instead of inserting it.

Can my device use an eSIM?
To find out if your device is eSIM-capable, dial *#06# on the device. If you see an EID number listed, your device can use eSIM.
No EID number? You’ll want to get a physical SIM card for your AT&T Prepaid device. You can get one when you bring your own smartphone to a prepaid plan online or at any AT&T store.
