3 Things to Check Before Buying a Travel eSIM

Before buying an eSIM for international travel, check more than the phone model name. Your device region, carrier lock and exact model variant can affect eSIM compatibility and installation.

01

Check Your Phone for an EID

Dial *#06#. If your phone displays an EID, it has eSIM hardware support.

02

Check if Your Phone Is Carrier-Unlocked

A compatible phone may still be unable to use a third-party eSIM if network locked.

03

Confirm Your Exact Phone Model

Some Samsung, Pixel and other Android models differ by country or carrier.

TRAVEL eSIM FAQ

Travel eSIM Compatibility FAQs

An EID indicates that the device has eSIM capability. You should still confirm that the phone is carrier-unlocked and that your exact regional model is not restricted.
Manufacturers sometimes sell different hardware or carrier configurations under the same model family. This is why a model list should be treated as a guide rather than an absolute guarantee.
We do not assume it is compatible. Use the *#06# EID check and confirm with your device manufacturer or eSIM provider before purchasing.
It means your phone is not restricted to one mobile network. A network-locked phone may block installation of a travel eSIM from another provider.

Find the Right eSIM for International Travel

Once your phone passes the eSIM compatibility checks, search your destination and compare international travel eSIM plans by data, validity and coverage.
