How do I check if my phone has eSIM?

Three checks you can do right now, on the phone itself. Each takes under a minute.

  1. Dial *#06#

    *#06#

    Open your Phone app and dial *#06#. If you see an EID (a 32-digit number), your phone has eSIM.

    No EID? Some Android phones only show it in Settings > About phone.

  2. Look in Settings

    iPhone

    Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Service). Look for Add eSIM.

    Samsung

    Settings > Connections > SIM manager. Look for Add eSIM.

    Pixel

    Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > Add SIM.

    Other Android

    Open Settings and search for eSIM or EID. Menus differ by maker, but it is usually under SIM or mobile networks.

  3. Make sure it's unlocked

    Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. Phones bought on a carrier plan can be locked, and only your carrier can unlock them.

    On iPhone: Settings > General > About > Carrier Lock should say "No SIM restrictions".

Good to know

Does it matter where I bought my phone?

Sometimes. The same model can be sold with or without eSIM in different countries. The checker shows the note that applies to your model.

  • Apple

    Bought in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macao?

    Most mainland China iPhones don't have eSIM. Some Hong Kong and Macao models use two physical SIMs. Look for Add eSIM in Settings to be sure.

  • Samsung

    Bought in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or Korea?

    Galaxy phones from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or South Korea, and some early US S20, S21 and Note20 Ultra, may not have eSIM. Dial *#06# to be sure.

  • Tablets

    Wi-Fi + Cellular models only

    Tablets need the Wi-Fi + Cellular version. Wi-Fi only models don't have eSIM.

  • Any phone

    Bought on a monthly plan?

    Carrier phones can be locked. Ask your carrier to unlock it before you travel.

FAQ

Questions travellers ask

Which iPhones support eSIM?

Every iPhone from the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR (2018) onward, including the iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation). The iPhone X, 8 and older don't have eSIM. iPhones bought in mainland China mostly don't either.

Which Samsung Galaxy phones support eSIM?

Galaxy S20 and newer, the Z Fold and Z Flip range, the Note20 and recent Galaxy A models such as the A35, A36, A55 and A56. Galaxy phones sold in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or South Korea may not have eSIM.

Which Google Pixel phones support eSIM?

Pixel 3a and every Pixel since, including the a-series and Fold models. Some Pixel 3 and 3a phones sold in Japan or through certain carriers don't have eSIM.

My phone isn't on the list. Does that mean no eSIM?

No. Our list covers the most popular models, not every phone ever made. Dial *#06#. If you see an EID, you're good to go. Still unsure? Send us your model and we'll check for you.

How do I know if my phone is unlocked?

On iPhone, go to Settings > General > About > Carrier Lock. "No SIM restrictions" means it's unlocked. On Android, ask your carrier, or try a SIM from another network: if it connects, your phone is unlocked.

Can I keep my regular SIM when I add a travel eSIM?

Yes. Most eSIM phones hold two lines, so you can use the travel eSIM for data and keep your home number for calls and texts.

Do I need Wi-Fi to install an eSIM?

Yes, you need an internet connection to download it. Install your eSIM before you fly, while you're on Wi-Fi, then switch it on when you land.
