How to Check if Your Phone is eSIM Compatible (iOS & Android)

Before buying a travel eSIM, make sure your device supports it. While most modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops now support eSIMs, not every device does. That’s why it’s essential to check eSIM compatibility before you purchase any plan.

This guide walks you through how to quickly check if your phone is eSIM-compatible — and ready to use with Roamvy.

1. Check Roamvy’s Compatibility List

The fastest way is to view the official Roamvy eSIM compatibility guide, which includes:

2. Use the *#06# Shortcut

On most phones, you can dial *#06# to see your device’s unique identifiers.

• If your phone shows an EID number, it means your device supports eSIM.
• If no EID appears, your device likely doesn’t support eSIM.

This is one of the fastest ways to confirm if yours is one of the eSIM supported phones without digging through settings.

3. Check in Your Device Settings

If you prefer, you can confirm directly on your phone:

On iPhone (iOS)

1. Go to Settings > Cellular / Mobile Data.
2. If you see the option “Add eSIM” or “Add Cellular Plan”, your device is eSIM compatible.

On Android (Samsung, Google Pixel, etc.)

1. Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager (Samsung) or Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs (Pixel).
2. Look for “Add eSIM” or “Download a SIM instead”.

These options make it easy to check eSIM compatibility right from your device settings.

4. Check If Your Device is Unlocked

Even if your phone supports eSIM, it must be unlocked to use eSIMs from different providers.

• If you bought your phone directly from Apple, Samsung, or Google, it’s usually unlocked.
• If purchased through a carrier, you may need to confirm or request an unlock.
