Two minutes on the phone itself settles it, whichever version you have.

  1. Dial *#06#

    Open the phone app and dial *#06#. If a number labelled EID appears, your phone supports eSIM.

  2. On an iPhone

    Go to Settings, then Cellular (or Mobile Data). If you see Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan, it supports eSIM.

  3. Check it is unlocked

    A phone bought from a carrier on contract may be locked to it. Ask your carrier, or look for a Carrier Lock line in your settings that says No SIM restrictions.
