Phone check
Is my phone eSIM compatible?
Most phones from 2019 on support eSIM. Pick yours below, or use the two-second check that works on any phone.
Quick check on any phone: dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, eSIM works.
The two-second check on any phone
- Open the Phone appThe one you use for calls, with the keypad.
- Dial *#06#No need to press call. A screen with your phone's numbers opens.
- Look for “EID”If you see an EID (a long, 32-digit number), your phone supports eSIM. Only IMEI numbers? It doesn't.
Or check in Settings
- iPhone
- Settings → Mobile Service (or Cellular). If you see “Add eSIM”, your iPhone supports eSIM.
- Samsung Galaxy
- Settings → Connections → SIM manager. If you see “Add eSIM”, it's supported.
- Google Pixel and other Android
- Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → “+”. If it offers to download a SIM or add an eSIM, it's supported.
Your phone also needs to be unlocked
A phone bought on a contract can be locked to one carrier, and then it only accepts that carrier's SIMs and eSIMs. Most phones bought outright are unlocked. On iPhone, check Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock: it should say “No SIM restrictions”. If your phone is locked, ask your carrier to unlock it before you travel.
