Check Before You Buy

Just because a phone model supports eSIM doesn't mean YOUR specific device does. Regional variants often differ.

Carrier Compatibility

Your Phone Must Be Unlocked

  • Carrier-locked phones can't use travel eSIMs
  • Contact your carrier to unlock before traveling
  • Some carriers charge unlock fees

Dual SIM Support

Most eSIM phones support:

  • One physical SIM + one eSIM (simultaneously)
  • Multiple stored eSIM profiles (switch between them)
  • Some newer models: dual eSIM (no physical SIM slot)

Common Issues

Why Your Compatible Phone Might Not Work

  • Software version: Update to latest iOS/Android
  • Carrier restrictions: Some corporate plans disable eSIM
  • Regional firmware: Phone bought in restricted region
  • Hardware damage: eSIM chip can fail like any component

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Update to latest software
  2. Check carrier unlock status
  3. Restart phone
  4. Contact your current carrier
  5. Try a different eSIM provider
