Hi
i am wondering if Fido is supporting esim on iPhone xs. If not when it will be possible for them to support.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey Community!
Just wanted to take a moment to share some good news today
Fido customers can now activate eSIM on their iPhone Xr, Xs, Xs Max, Google Pixel 3a or Pixel 3a XL!
The activation of the eSIM on these devices must be done in a corporate Fido store. Our customer care can also activate, as long as it's for a BYOP line.
Also, keep in mind that eSIM activations are only available on no-term activations at this time.
One last thing to note is that the iPhone on which you're trying to activate the eSIM must have an Internet connection, either through WiFi or through the primary SIM. The connection is used to download the SIM profile to the eSIM.
We hope this helps!
***Update*** As of 06/06/2019 you can now activate an eSIM with an iPhone Xr, Xs, or Xs Max on a 2 year term.
***Update*** As of 10/17/2019 eSIM can be activated in any Fido Corporate store. Check out our store locator to find the nearest one.

Different question - would esim support also work for androids such as Pixel 2's and 3's?

Well that just sucks!! Completely defeats the object of an esim.....go figure Rogers/Fido doing this to us....

Fully agree.
You guys are far behind competition in adaptation of the esim . The suggestion to use standard SIM card from Fido and go looking the esim from someone else is useless and ridiculous.
I need the inverse. Use SIM card from work + esim from Fido.
You are just pushing existing customers to transfer their lines to those who offer it (Virgin and Bell). You will lose us guys.

We should just all vote with our feet and go to Bell. Apple announces Fido now has ESim with the release of IOS12.1.1 but NOBODY at Fido knows they now support ESim.... How great is a company that has NO clue what's going on with it's services.... Clueless doesn't begin to describe Rogers/Fido.

Any news if Fido will also support eSim on the Pixel 3? It seems more OEM's will be supporting the tech but there doesnt seem to be a lot of updates from the carrier side.
Watches with eSIM Compatibility
Phones with eSIM Compatibility

Fido is one of the WORST Cellular companies on the planet!!! Always a year behind everyone else, and everyone gets a different "deal".... Been with Fodo for 8 years with 5 lines, and not ONE line has the same deal. And my brother gets a 5gb data with Canada wide unlimited deal on his SINGLE line, and been a customer for 2 years on BYOD. I call Fido, and get told that SAME package will cost me $60. How is that possible..... Wake up Fido - one morning you won't have ANY customers left. Get Esim for Apple watch and Iphone, or I will also take MY 5 lines elsewhere, like many many others.

I called the Guildford store yesterday and they said they cannot activate e-sim.
