Three checks before purchase
- Exact model number and purchase region: check About Phone in settings. A shared product name does not mean identical regional hardware.
- Add eSIM menu: look for it using the paths below.
- Carrier lock: confirm the phone accepts another provider using the lock guide.
Check your phone
| Device | Menu path |
|---|---|
| iPhone | Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM |
| Android · Samsung Galaxy | Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM |
| Android · Google Pixel | Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add SIM |
Names vary by OS. An EID in device information is a useful clue, but does not guarantee compatibility with every travel eSIM.
Compare with manufacturer guidance
iPhone XS and XR and later include eSIM-capable models, with regional exceptions. Galaxy and Pixel support also varies by model, region and carrier. Do not assume an entire series is supported.
Still unsure?
Before buying, send support your model number, purchase country and whether Add eSIM appears. Do not post full IMEI or EID numbers publicly.
