Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

Your phone needs two things to use a TraveleSIM eSIM:

1. eSIM support. Most iPhones from the iPhone XS and XR onwards, Google Pixel 3 and later, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and later support eSIM, as do many other recent phones.
2. No carrier lock. A phone bought on contract may only accept SIMs from that operator. Ask your operator to unlock it before you travel.

Check compatibility

The quick check

• Dial *#06#. If an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM.
• iPhone: Settings > Mobile Data (or Cellular). If you see Add eSIM, your iPhone supports eSIM.
• Android: Settings > Connections or Network & internet > SIM manager. Look for Add eSIM or Download a SIM.

Good to know

• Phones bought in mainland China, and most iPhones bought in Hong Kong or Macao, do not have eSIM.
• For some Android models, eSIM depends on the country version. When in doubt, use the checks above.
