How to find out if your phone has eSim function


Mobile Phones purchased in China may not have e-sim functionality. Please check carefully!

iPhone

On iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini, you can use two eSIMs for two or more cellular plans—two active at the same time—or a physical nano-SIM for a cellular plan and an eSIM for one or more other cellular plans.

On iPhone 12 models, iPhone 11 models, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, you can use a physical nano-SIM for a cellular plan and an eSIM for one or more other cellular plans. If you don’t have a nano-SIM and your carrier supports it, an eSIM can serve as your only cellular plan. The eSIM provided by your carrier is stored digitally in your iPhone.

You can store more than one eSIM in your iPhone, but you can use only one at a time. To switch eSIMs, tap Settings, tap either Cellular or Mobile Data, and then tap the plan you want to use. Then tap Turn On This Line.

If your iPhone has this “Add Cellular Plan” on the Cellular Setting, you should be able to install e-Sim on your iPhone. If in doubt, please check with iPhone support in your country.

Android

Android smartphones that support eSIM include the Google Pixel 3 (and above) series, the Google Pixel 3a series, flagship Samsung devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 (and above) series, Samsung Galaxy Fold, and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.
