Is my phone eSIM compatible?

Your phone must be eSIM compatible and unlocked.

Dial this on your phone

*#06#

If an EID number appears, your phone is eSIM compatible and ready to go. No app, no settings menu — it takes seconds.

iOS (Apple & iPhone)

  • Go to Settings > General > About.
  • Scroll down to Carrier Lock or Network Provider Lock.
  • If it says "No SIM restrictions" — unlocked. If it lists a network, it's locked.

Android devices

  • Go to Settings > Connections (or Network & Internet) > Mobile Networks.
  • Tap Network Operators or Choose Network.
  • Turn off "Select automatically" — if multiple networks appear, it's unlocked. If only your carrier shows, it's likely locked.

Installation Guide
Please check what plan you have purchased. If you have purchased a data only plan, then it does not support traditional voice calls or SMS. However, you can make calls and send messages using data-based apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime.
Make sure that data roaming is turned on in your device settings. Also, give it a few minutes - sometimes it can take a little while to get connected to the local mobile network.
