How to Check if Your Android Device Supports eSIM?

 

To determine if your Android device supports eSIM, follow the steps below. Keep in mind that these steps may vary depending on your device. The best way to confirm eSIM compatibility is through your device manufacturer, vendor, or primary carrier.

 

General Information

- Whether a device is eSIM-compatible depends on whether the manufacturer includes an eSIM.

- Even if a device is listed as eSIM-capable, it may not support eSIM technology in certain regions or if purchased through specific carriers.

 

Steps to Check eSIM Compatibility

 

Google Pixel Devices

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Network & Internet.
  3. Tap the "+" sign beside SIMs.
  4. If the Connect to mobile network page has a "Download a SIM instead?" option, your device is eSIM-capable.

 

Note:Contact your provider or device manufacturer to confirm if these steps apply to your device.

 

Samsung Galaxy Devices

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Connections.
  3. Tap SIM Manager.
  4. If Add eSIM is available, your device likely supports eSIMs.

 

Note:Contact your provider or device manufacturer to confirm if these steps apply to your device.

  

Other Android Devices

  1. Dial *#06# and press the call button.
  2. If your device is eSIM-compatible, you should see your device's eSIM unique identification number (EID).

 

How to Check if Your Device is Carrier-Unlocked

 

Your device must be carrier-unlocked to use an eSIM. This allows you to use multiple SIM and/or eSIMs from different carriers. Follow these steps to check if your Android device is unlocked:

 

  1. Remove your phone's SIM card.
  2. Replace it with a SIM card from a different carrier.
  3. Check if the carrier's name at the top of your home screen has changed.
  4. Make a call.

 

- If the call connects, your phone is unlocked.

- If you can't make a call, the phone is locked to the first carrier. You might also see a notice on the screen indicating that the phone is locked.

 

Note:Always check with your device manufacturer, vendor, or primary carrier to confirm eSIM capability if you're still unsure.
