The JMP eSIM Adapter allows users to utilize eSIM plans on any Android phone with a SIM card slot, even if the phone is not eSIM compatible. Unlike other eSIM adapters, the JMP adapter does not require a proprietary app, enabling users to manage eSIM profiles across various platforms, including Android, Linux, Windows, and macOS. eSIMs, or embedded SIMs, are remotely programmable, allowing users to download and provision profiles directly from carriers, which can lead to significant cost savings, especially for international travel. The JMP eSIM Adapter is priced at $39.99, with an additional $5 shipping fee within the US. Users can add eSIM plans using the JMP SIM Manager app or a USB reader. However, compatibility with certain Android devices may vary, as some do not support the necessary Open Mobile API (OMAPI). The adapter is designed for convenience, allowing users to switch between devices easily. Compared to other eSIM adapters, the JMP option is more affordable than some competitors while offering greater flexibility and privacy.

13 commentsWhen visiting the US I got a sim that was running on tmobile and gave me 5Gb for $4. However it was obviously using a loophole for a roaming carrier as it claimed I was on a Polish IP, which made Google convert everything to zł.
Except for that (just had to make sure I added "in $" to Google) everything worked perfectly.

I am still with Google Fi since I was traveling a lot abroad. But now I am back in the US and see that there are much cheaper plans. Is google fi still worth it?
It's insane what they are charging.
Is this the life hack to get inexpensive service? I see that people are recommending the xiaomi flip phone, but that's $1000+ on eBay.
Is using an esim an inexpensive way to get phone service if you don't need international roaming? That's handy, but would not be the main reason I would switch.
The cost for these seems pretty high though.
My Chinese / Hong Kong model takes dual nano SIM but no eSIMs
TL;DR: More useful for international travel, less useful for US domestic carriers. There's a few T-Mobile MVNO's that are cheap/free you might be able to use this with.
