Is my iPhone eSIM compatible?
Most iPhones are eSIM compatible, with the exclusion of recent models sold in the USA or China. Here’s how you can check compatibility for sure:
- Go to Settings > General > About
- Scroll down to the Carrier Lock section
- If your phone shows ‘No SIM restrictions’, it means it’s not locked to a specific carrier
- Scroll down to Available SIM or Digital SIM
- Your phone supports eSIMs if it shows a 15 digit IMEI number
Is my Android eSIM compatible?
On Android, the best way to check eSIM compatibility is this:
