Is my device eSIM compatible?
Last updated: June 24, 2026
Most smartphones released after 2018 support eSIM, but not all do. Here is how to check.
Compatible device families
Brand | Compatible from |
iPhone | iPhone XR (2018) and newer |
Samsung Galaxy | S21 series and newer (most models) |
Google Pixel | Pixel 3 and newer |
Other Android | Check your device manufacturer's specs |
Devices sold in mainland China do not support eSIM even if the same global model does. South Korean Samsung devices may also be restricted.
How to check on your device
iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM. If the option appears, eSIM is supported.
Android / Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM card manager → Add eSIM (or similar). Labels vary by manufacturer.
Any device: Dial #06# to display device identifiers. If an EID number appears (a 32-digit code), your device supports eSIM.
Your device also needs to be carrier-unlocked
An eSIM-compatible device that is locked to another carrier will not accept a travel eSIM profile. See Is my device carrier-unlocked? to check.
