How do I know if my device is eSIM compatible?

Last updated: December 4, 2025

Most newer smartphones support eSIM, including:

  • iPhone: All models from iPhone XR (2018) and newer

  • Samsung Galaxy: Most models from S21 and newer

  • Google Pixel: From Pixel 4a and newer

  • Other brands: Many recent flagship devices from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and others

Quick ways to check:

  1. On your phone, go to Settings > Mobile Network > Add eSIM. If you see the option, your device supports eSIM.

  2. Look for your device’s EID number (a 32-digit identifier for eSIM) by dialing #06# or checking Settings > About Phone.

Your device must also be carrier unlocked to use a travel eSIM. Some regional versions (e.g., devices sold in mainland China) may not support eSIM, even if the global model does.
