How to Check eSIM Compatibility on iPhone
Apple started adding eSIM support with iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR. Here's how to check your specific model:
- Go to Settings > General > About.
- Look for EID (Electronic Identity Document) — if you see an EID number, your iPhone supports eSIM.
- Alternatively, check your model number: Settings > General > About > Model Number. Then compare with the list below.
eSIM-compatible iPhones: iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and SE (2nd and 3rd gen). All models sold in the US after iPhone 14 are eSIM-only (no physical SIM slot).
How to Check eSIM Compatibility on Samsung Galaxy
Samsung added eSIM support starting with the Galaxy S20 series (except US models). To check:
- Open Settings > Connections > SIM card manager.
- If you see an option to Add eSIM, your phone supports it.
- Alternatively, dial *#06# — if an EID appears, eSIM is supported.
eSIM-compatible Samsung models: Galaxy S20, S21, S22, S23, S24, S25 series; Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip from Fold 2 onwards; Galaxy Note 20 series; Galaxy A54 and newer A-series.
How to Check eSIM Compatibility on Google Pixel
Google Pixels have eSIM support since Pixel 2 (with some carrier restrictions). To check:
- Go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs.
- If you see an Add eSIM or Download a SIM option, your phone is compatible.
- Alternatively, check your model: Pixel 2 and newer support eSIM, but Pixel 2 and 3 may require a carrier unlock.
Check eSIM Compatibility on Other Brands
Huawei: P40, P40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro, and newer — check Settings > Mobile Network > SIM Management for eSIM.
Oppo: Find X3 Pro, Find X5, Reno 5A and newer.
Xiaomi: Mi 12T Pro, 13 series, and some Redmi Note models.
