eSIM compatibility

Is my phone eSIM compatible?

For a travel eSIM to work, your phone needs to tick three boxes:

  • It supports eSIM (most phones from 2019 onward do).
  • It's carrier-unlocked — not tied to a specific network.
  • It hasn't been jailbroken (iPhone) or rooted (Android).

Heads up — an eSIM installs on your phone, not your computer. Do these checks on the phone you'll actually travel with.

Check compatibility

  • The device supports eSIM.
  • The device is not carrier- or network-locked.
  • The device is not jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android).

All iPhones from iPhone XR / XS (2018) onward support eSIM. iPad: iPad (7th gen+), iPad Air (3rd gen+), iPad Pro 11-inch (all gens) and 12.9-inch (3rd gen+), iPad mini (5th gen+).

Don't see your device?

This list isn't exhaustive. Check your phone's Settings for "Add eSIM" or "Add cellular plan", or dial *#06# — if you see an EID, your device supports eSIM. Still unsure? Contact the manufacturer.

Some regional variants do not support eSIM even if the model is listed. iPhones and most Android phones sold in mainland China, and some Hong Kong/Macao and South Korea variants, may lack eSIM. Samsung S20 FE and some US carrier-locked variants vary. This list is not exhaustive — if a device isn't listed, check Settings (look for 'Add eSIM') or your manufacturer.

Can't find your device?

Two quick manual checks anyone can do in 10 seconds.

Is your phone eSIM-ready? 10-second check for iPhone and Android
Start here — the 10-second eSIM-ready check for iPhone & Android.
iPhone eSIM check: Settings, General, About
iPhone: Settings → General → About, then scroll to find EID.
Android eSIM check: Settings, Connections, SIM manager
Android: Settings → Connections → SIM manager (look for eSIM).
Check that your phone is carrier-unlocked
Make sure your phone is carrier-unlocked — a travel eSIM needs an unlocked phone.

You're good to go.
