What are the device requirements for using eSIM?
Here's how to verify whether your device supports eSIM:
*1. Dial #06# (quickest way)
-
Open your phone's dialer and enter *#06#
-
If an EID number appears on the screen, your device supports eSIM
-
If only IMEI/MEID/SN numbers show and no EID, your device likely does not support eSIM
2. Check in your phone settings
-
iPhone: Settings → Cellular — if you see an option like "Add eSIM", your device supports eSIM
-
Android: Settings → Network & Internet — if you see "SIMs" or "Add eSIM", your device supports eSIM
3. Check the official specs
- Search your exact model on the manufacturer's official website and look for "eSIM support"
Important notes
- China mainland versions of many devices (e.g., iPhone, Huawei P60 series, etc.) do not support overseas eSIM installation, even though the hardware may include eSIM capability
