Does my phone support eSIM?
Your phone needs to support eSIM and must not be locked to one operator. Most iPhones from the XS and XR on, Google Pixel 3 and later, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and later support eSIM.
iOS (iPhone)
- Open Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data).
- Look for Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan. If present, your iPhone supports eSIM.
- If you do not see this option, check device model and carrier restrictions.
- Most iPhone XS/XR and newer models support eSIM.
Android
- Open Settings > Network & Internet (or Connections) > SIM Manager / Mobile Network.
- Look for Download SIM, Add eSIM, or eSIM manager options.
- Dial *#06# and check for an EID number. EID usually indicates eSIM support.
- If options are missing, verify your exact model and carrier support in the manufacturer documentation.
Important Notes
- A phone can be eSIM-capable but still blocked by carrier policy or region variant.
- Your phone should be unlocked for international eSIM usage.
