The eSIM questions people ask most

Does the iPhone 18 Pro have a SIM tray?

Only in some countries. Apple sells the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max as eSIM-only in the US, Canada, Japan, Mexico, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and six other markets; models sold in Europe, Australia and most of Asia keep a nano-SIM tray. Every version supports two active eSIMs.

Is the iPhone Duo eSIM-only?

Yes. Apple’s foldable iPhone Duo has no SIM tray anywhere in the world — it works only with eSIM, including travel eSIMs. It goes on sale on 23 October 2026.

See it in the list ↓

Does the iPhone 11 have eSIM?

Yes. Every iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max supports one eSIM alongside a physical nano-SIM — unless it was bought in mainland China, where iPhones ship without an eSIM chip.

See it in the list ↓

Does the iPhone XR have eSIM?

Yes. The iPhone XR, XS and XS Max (2018) were the first iPhones with eSIM: one eSIM plus one nano-SIM. Mainland China units are the exception.

See it in the list ↓

Does the Huawei Mate 80 support eSIM?

Huawei has confirmed eSIM only for the Mate 80 RS Ultimate Design, which runs dual eSIM with Chinese carriers. For the Mate 80, 80 Pro and 80 Pro Max reports conflict, so check Settings › Mobile network for an eSIM option before buying a travel plan.

See it in the list ↓

Does the Samsung Galaxy S21 support eSIM?

Unlocked and most international S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra units do. Several US carrier variants shipped with eSIM disabled, and the S21 FE has no eSIM at all. Open Settings › Connections › SIM manager and look for “Add eSIM”.

See it in the list ↓

Does the Pixel 6a support eSIM?

Yes. Every Pixel from the Pixel 4 onward supports eSIM without regional restrictions, including the 6a and the new Pixel 11 series (eSIM-only in the US). Only the Pixel 3 and Pixel 2 are limited.

See it in the list ↓

What is the EID number?

The EID is the 32-digit serial number of the eSIM chip in your phone. Dial *#06#: if an EID appears next to the IMEI, the phone has eSIM hardware. Some providers ask for it when issuing a profile.

Check your phone in two minutes

Look for the eSIM setting

Open the cellular settings and look for an eSIM or Add eSIM option, or dial *#06# and look for an EID number next to the IMEI.

Confirm the phone is unlocked

Check carrier-lock status in device settings or with your carrier. On iPhone: Settings, General, About, Carrier Lock — "No SIM restrictions" means unlocked.

Match the exact model and region

eSIM compatibility FAQ

How do I check if my phone supports eSIM?

On iPhone, open Settings, then Cellular or Mobile Service, and look for an "Add eSIM" option. On Android, open Settings, then Network or Connections, then SIM manager. You can also dial *#06# — if an EID number appears alongside the IMEI, your phone has an eSIM chip.

Does my iPhone support eSIM?

Every iPhone from the iPhone XR and XS (2018) onward supports eSIM, up to the iPhone 18 Pro and the foldable iPhone Duo. In the US, the iPhone 14 and newer are eSIM-only with no physical SIM tray. iPhones bought in mainland China have no eSIM chip (except the iPhone 17e and iPhone Air), and Hong Kong and Macao models use two nano-SIMs instead.

Do all Samsung and Google Pixel phones support eSIM?

Most do. Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer (plus Z Fold and Z Flip foldables, Note 20, and select A-series) support eSIM, as does every Google Pixel from the Pixel 3 onward. A few carrier or market variants disable eSIM, so check SIM Manager or Settings on your exact model.

Does my phone need to be unlocked to use a travel eSIM?

Yes. The phone must be carrier-unlocked. On iPhone, check Settings, General, About, Carrier Lock — "No SIM restrictions" means it is unlocked. On Android, confirm the unlock status with your carrier.

My phone brand says "region-dependent" — what does that mean?

For brands such as Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus, Honor, Huawei, Sony, Vivo and Nothing, eSIM is enabled only on certain market or firmware versions, often Global or EU models rather than Chinese or Hong Kong ones. Confirm eSIM in your phone settings and on the provider checkout page before buying.

Can I use a travel eSIM on an iPad or smartwatch?

Cellular iPads (not WiFi-only) support eSIM and most travel eSIMs. Smartwatches such as the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch use eSIM too, but they normally need a carrier watch plan — most travel data eSIMs are designed for phones and tablets.

My exact model is not listed — does that mean it is incompatible?

Not necessarily. This list covers the most common device families. If your phone shows an "Add eSIM" option in settings and is carrier-unlocked, it can most likely use a travel eSIM. The provider checkout page is the final source of truth.
