Before you buy
Which phones support eSIM
An eSIM is a SIM built into the phone. If your handset has one you can add our plan in under a minute; if it does not, no eSIM from anyone will work on it. This is the same list our WhatsApp assistant answers from, so ask it your exact model if you would rather not read.
Check it in ten seconds
- Open Settings → Mobile network (iPhone: Cellular).
- Look for Add eSIM or Add data plan. If it is there, you are covered.
- Or dial *#06# — an EID number in the list means the phone has an eSIM.
The phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. A handset locked to one network will refuse a second profile even when the hardware supports it.
