The best eSIM adapter for smartphones, 4G routers, etc

Hello, everyone.

I wanted to understand which physical eSIM adapter is better and why.

I read two articles, these ones Recensione: JMP eSim Adapter - cuche.cc , Use eSIM plans on any Android phone with this handy adapter - Android Authority and realized that the best physical eSIM adapter is the “JMP eSim Adapter,” even though it is NOT the cheapest on the market ($40-50), because it does NOT force you to use a proprietary closed-source application!

Order the adapter JMP: eSIM Adapter

If you know of any other open source eSIM adapters, please write about them here.

The scheme works as follows:

1. Buy an eSIM adapter (JMP eSim Adapter)

2. Choose an eSIM provider (pay for a plan). For example, https://www.airalo.com/italy-esim or https://marketplace.esim.me/, etc.

3. Download the eSIM profile to your phone or router.

4. Start using it.

Hi

If you plan to use this physical eSIM with a GL.iNet cellular router featured eSIM Management, we recommend using one provided by GL.iNet partners.
These have been verified by us to ensure compatibility.
EIOT CLUB: esim — GL.iNet US
SIMPoYo: SIMPoYo eSIM eSIM Physical Card and SIMPoYo SIM Card. - GL.iNet

Alternatively, you may use any other eSIM listed in the compatibility list.

All of these can be managed directly within the GL UI eSIM Management without requiring additional software on your phone or PC.

Tutorials for eSIM Management and the compatibility list can be found here:

Thank you very much for your answer. I'll check the JMP eSim Adapter and write how it works. This link https://esim_store.gl-inet.com does not work for me, please check for yourself.

Thank you for your feedback.
