FAQ
eSIM compatibility, answered.
How do I check if my phone supports eSIM?
The quickest test on any phone is to dial *#06#. If an EID (a 32-digit number) appears alongside the IMEI, the phone has eSIM hardware. You can also look in settings: on iPhone, Settings → General → About and scroll to Available SIMs; on Android, Settings → Network & internet → SIMs and look for an option to add or download a SIM. Or simply search your model in the directory on this page.
Which iPhones support eSIM?
Every iPhone from the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR (2018) onwards supports eSIM, including all iPhone SE models from 2020, the iPhone 11–17 ranges and the iPhone Air. The exception is mainland China: iPhones sold there ship with dual physical SIM slots and no eSIM. US-market iPhone 14 and later models are eSIM-only, with no physical SIM tray at all.
Which Samsung phones support eSIM?
Samsung flagships from the Galaxy S20 series (2020) onwards support eSIM, along with the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip lines, recent Note models and a growing number of A-series phones. Support varies by regional variant, though. Some carrier and market-specific models ship without eSIM enabled, so check the caveats listed against your exact model.
Why do some devices lose eSIM support in certain countries?
Local regulation and carrier practice mean the same model can ship differently by market. The best-known case is mainland China, where Apple and most Android devices ship with physical SIM slots instead of eSIM. Some Korean, Japanese and carrier-locked US variants also differ from the global model. The directory on this page flags these regional caveats per device.
My phone is not in the list. Does that mean it has no eSIM?
Not necessarily. The directory lists devices whose eSIM support we have verified, and new releases and regional models are added all the time. If your phone is missing, dial *#06#. If an EID shows up, it supports eSIM. You can also check the manufacturer’s specifications for your exact model number.
Does my phone need to be unlocked to use an eSIM?
Yes. To use an eSIM from anyone other than your current carrier, the phone needs to be unlocked. A carrier-locked phone may support eSIM technically but will refuse profiles from other networks. Most phones bought outright are unlocked, while phones on a carrier contract may need to be unlocked first.
Do tablets and smartwatches support eSIM too?
Many do. Cellular iPads from 2018 onwards use eSIM, as do cellular Samsung and Google tablets and most LTE smartwatches, including Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch models. Note that smartwatch eSIM typically works through a number-sharing plan from your primary carrier rather than a standalone data eSIM.
