Is My Phone eSIM Compatible? A One-Minute Check
The quickest ways to find out if your phone supports eSIM: the EID code, the settings menu, carrier lock and compatible iPhone, Samsung and Pixel models.
Contents
The first question before buying an eSIM: does my phone support it? The good news is that checking takes less than a minute.
Fastest method: the EID code
Dial *#06# on your phone. If you see a 32-digit number called EID, your phone has an eSIM chip.
Check in settings
- iPhone: Settings → Mobile/Cellular → if you see “Add eSIM” or “Add Cellular Plan”, it is compatible.
- Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → “Add eSIM”.
- Google Pixel: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → “Download eSIM”.
