Which devices are eSIM compatible?
The models we see most often, by brand, with the regional versions that ship without eSIM. The same model can have eSIM in one country and not another, and new phones arrive all the time, so a phone that isn't listed may still work. Trust the dial code over this list: dial *#06#, and a 32-digit number labeled EID means the phone supports eSIM. Every device here also needs to be unlocked. Last reviewed: September 2026.
The one place in the support center that names models. Everywhere else says "iPhone XS and later, most Android flagships since 2019," because lists go stale; this one is reviewed each September and dated at the top. For the check itself, see Is my phone compatible with eSIM? The one-minute check; for locks, see Carrier-locked, region-locked, or unlocked: how to tell.
