Telus and Koodo will finally support eSIM for iPhone and Pixel devices, starting today, as confirmed by the company to iPhone in Canada.

With eSIM, select iPhones are able to support Dual SIM alongside the traditional nano SIM. This means with the digital eSIM, you’ll be able to activate a cellular plan without using a physical SIM. This can be handy when travelling, as various eSIM providers offer data plans cheaper than traditional roaming options (such as GigSky or Airalo).

The following Apple iPhones support eSIM:

iPhone XS

iPhone XS Max

iPhone XR

iPhone 11

iPhone 11 Pro

iPhone 11 Pro Max







According to Google, the following devices support eSIM:

Pixel 3a

Pixel 4

Rogers launched eSIM support for iPhone users back in April 2019, while Bell was first to debut eSIM support for iPhone back in the fall of 2018. Telus customers have been clamouring for eSIM support and it’s finally coming today.

TELUS Stores and Koodo Shops on both TELUS and Koodo (prepaid and postpaid) will be able to purchase an eSIM voucher for $20.

For iPhone users, eSIM is only available as a secondary line. For Android smartphones on Telus (3a/3a XL; 4/4 XL; Moto Razr), eSIM can be either the primary or secondary line. More setup instructions are here.
