Android: You can now transfer your eSIM to another Android phone

What is Google’s eSIM transfer tool?
Transferring an eSIM from an old device to a newer device can be a headache. First, you’ll remove and de-register the eSIM from your old device. Then, you’ll activate the eSIM on your new device, which may involve contacting and waiting for your carrier. This process can be quick but often takes some time and runs into issues. That’s where Google’s eSIM transfer tool comes in.

How to use Google’s eSIM transfer tool
Using Google’s eSIM transfer tool is straightforward and happens automatically when setting up your phone.

1. Power on your phone.
2. Follow the setup process to set up a Wi-Fi connection.
3. You’re prompted to insert a SIM, set up an eSIM, or transfer an eSIM from another device.
4. Follow the instructions to transfer your eSIM from your old device to your new device.

The tool also has the option to convert a SIM to an eSIM, so you may be prompted to do so if you insert a physical SIM into your phone.
