Cricket Wireless eSIM supported devices

Cricket Wireless exclusively enables eSIM compatibility for iPhones, specifically the XS, XR, or more recent models, all of which were launched in 2018. If you have purchased an iPhone since then, chances are it will work with Cricket Wireless.

Regrettably, although eSIMs are increasingly being adopted by various Android phone manufacturers, it is common for carriers to restrict their support of this technology to Apple devices.

It’s important to note that iPhones must be unlocked and running iOS 16.0.2 or a later version.
