Where Does eSIM.me Store Carrier Profiles?
eSIM.me stores downloaded carrier profiles on its physical adapter card with the app managing installs. The card is the backup; keep its PIN safe.

eSIM.me brings eSIM to phones without built-in support through a physical adapter card. Carrier profiles download into slots on that card, managed by the companion app. The phone sees a normal SIM with switchable profiles. Slot counts differ by card generation, so check yours.
That hardware split decides backups: the card holds the profiles, so guard it like a SIM collection. App reinstalls change nothing; a lost card loses everything on it. Exact behaviors may vary by version, so manage profiles inside the app rather than file tricks.
Where eSIM.me stores this, by platform
eSIM.me adapter card (physical slots)
Profiles live on the physical adapter card, not in files. Exact behaviors may vary by version. Guard the card and its PIN; reinstalls affect nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move profiles to a new phone?
No. Profiles live on the physical eSIM.me card in the SIM tray and cannot transfer like files. Buy a second card for the new phone and download fresh profiles to it. Keep the old card until travel ends.
How do I install a carrier profile?
Open the app with the card inserted and follow the download flow per carrier. Small free slots cover trials; paid slots hold the keepers. Stable WiFi matters; interrupted writes corrupt slots.
