3 Things to Verify Before Buying
A quick device check can help you avoid compatibility issues during installation or travel.
Confirm eSIM Support
Open your device's cellular, mobile network or SIM settings and look for an option such as "Add eSIM", "Add Mobile Plan", "Add Cellular Plan" or a similar eSIM profile function.
Check the Exact Model
Device families can contain different regional versions. Check the manufacturer's model number and specifications rather than relying only on the commercial product name.
Check Network Lock Status
Your device should allow the use of another compatible mobile network. A carrier-locked device may restrict eSIM activation or the use of another provider.

Menu names can differ depending on your operating system, device generation and software version.
Apple iPhone
Go to Settings → Cellular / Mobile Service and look for an option to add an eSIM or add a cellular plan. If the option is unavailable, check your exact model, region and carrier restrictions.
Samsung Galaxy
Go to Settings → Connections → SIM Manager. Compatible models may display an option to add an eSIM. Menu availability can vary by device and region.
Google Pixel
Go to Settings → Network & internet → SIMs and check whether the device provides an option to add a SIM or eSIM profile.
Other Android Devices
Look under Settings → Network, Connections, SIM or Mobile Network. Android menu names vary significantly between manufacturers and software versions.
