Mobile compatible

Important Considerations Before Reviewing the List:

  1. Not Exhaustive: This list is extensive but may not be 100% complete. New models are released frequently, and manufacturers sometimes add eSIM support via software updates or in specific regional variants.

  2. Regional Variations: eSIM support can vary based on the country/region where the phone was purchased and the specific model number. For example, iPhones sold in Mainland China typically use dual physical SIMs instead of eSIM. Some Samsung or Xiaomi models might have eSIM in one region but not another.

  3. Carrier Support: Your mobile carrier must also support eSIM activation for you to use it.

  4. "Lite" or "FE" Models: Support in mid-range, "Lite", or "Fan Edition" (FE) versions can be inconsistent. Always double-check the specific model.

  5. Verification: The best way to know for sure is to check your phone's settings (usually under Settings > Network & Internet / Cellular / Mobile Data > Add eSIM or similar) or consult the official specifications for your exact model number on the manufacturer's website for your region.

How to Check if Your Specific Phone Supports eSIM

Don't just rely on the list! Here’s how to check directly on your device:

  • On iPhone:

    1. Go to Settings.

    2. Tap on Cellular (or Mobile Data).

    3. Look for an option like "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". If you see it, your iPhone supports eSIM.

  • On Android (General Steps - wording may vary slightly):

    1. Go to Settings.

    2. Tap on Network & Internet (or Connections).

    3. Tap on SIM cards, Mobile Network, or similar.

    4. Look for an option mentioning "Add eSIM," "Download a SIM instead?" or managing eSIM profiles. The presence of an EID (eSIM Identifier) number in your phone's status or 'About phone' section is also a strong indicator.

If you can't find these options, consult your phone's official manual or the manufacturer's website for your exact model number.

Why Bother with eSIM? The Benefits

  • Travel Convenience: Easily add local data plans abroad without hunting for physical SIMs.

  • Dual SIM Flexibility: Use two numbers on one phone (e.g., work and personal). Many phones support one physical SIM + one eSIM simultaneously.

  • Easy Switching: Change carriers or plans digitally without waiting for a physical SIM.

  • Security: An eSIM can't be physically removed if your phone is lost or stolen.

  • Space Saving: Allows manufacturers to use internal space for other components (like bigger batteries).

Remember to always verify for your specific model and region before purchasing an eSIM plan.
