eSIM Compatible Devices: Complete List for iPhone, Android & More

Quick answer: Over 95% of smartphones released after 2019 support eSIM, but regional versions (e.g., China or Korea models) can vary. Always check your specific device.
How to Check in 30 Seconds

  1. iPhone: Settings → General → About → Look for "Digital SIM" or IMEI under it (shows = YES).
  2. Android: Settings → About phone → Status → Search for "EID number" (appears = YES).
  3. Universal: Dial *#06# → If EID pops up, you're eSIM-ready.

(Pro tip: Update to latest iOS/Android for full support.)

Common Myths—Debunked

Myth Reality
“eSIM is more expensive” Often cheaper than roaming/airport SIMs (prepaid, no contracts)
“It’s complicated to set up” 60 seconds: Scan QR in Settings → Cellular
“Not all phones support it” 95%+ of 2019+ flagships do (check EID)
“I’ll lose my number” Keep physical SIM for voice/SMS; eSIM for data only
“Chinese models don’t work” True for many iPhone/Samsung (mainland); global versions do
