Is your phone eSIM-ready?
Two things decide it: your device needs eSIM hardware, and it needs to be carrier-unlocked. Here’s how to check in under a minute.
eSIM-capable
Your phone’s hardware must support a digital SIM profile. Most phones released since 2018 qualify — see the full list below.
Carrier-unlocked
A phone still tied to a carrier contract can’t add a second, independent data line. If in doubt, ask your carrier whether your device is unlocked.
How to check on your phone
Takes about 30 seconds — no app required.

Open Settings and search for “SIM”. If you see an option like “Add eSIM” or “Download a SIM”, you’re covered.
