Check eSIM compatibility

How to check whether your phone supports eSIM.

Most newer phones support eSIM, but not every model does. Check compatibility before you buy.

Common devices that support eSIM

This is not a complete list of devices. Always check on your own phone whether its settings offer adding an eSIM.

  • iPhone: iPhone XS / XR and iPhone 11 and newer models
  • Samsung Galaxy: many newer S, Z and other Galaxy models
  • Google Pixel: many Pixel models
  • iPad: many Cellular models
  • Other Android phones: support varies by model and market

Which may not support it?

  • Older phone models
  • Low-cost basic models
  • Versions sold in some regions or locked to an operator

Check on your own phone

  1. Open your phone's settings.
  2. Look for an option such as Add eSIM, SIM manager or Mobile network.
  3. Make sure your phone is not locked to an operator.
