How to check your phone in a minute
Dial *#06#
Open the phone app and dial *#06#. If a number labelled EID appears, your phone supports eSIM.
On an iPhone
Go to Settings, then Cellular (or Mobile Data). If you see Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan, it supports eSIM.
On Android
Go to Settings, then Network and internet, then SIMs. If you can add an eSIM or download a SIM, it supports eSIM.
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.
eSIM compatibility questions
How do I know if my phone supports eSIM?
Dial *#06#. If an EID number appears, it does. You can also look for an Add eSIM option in your mobile network settings.
Does my phone need to be unlocked?
Yes. A phone locked to one carrier refuses an eSIM from another network. Phones bought outright are usually unlocked; ask your carrier if yours came on a contract.
Why does my model show as supported but my phone has no eSIM?
Some versions sold in particular countries leave eSIM out, most often in mainland China. The notes beside each model say which.
Can I keep my usual SIM while using a travel eSIM?
On most phones, yes: the travel eSIM carries your data while your usual SIM keeps your number for calls and texts.
