Does my phone support eSIM?
Two things have to be true: your phone must have eSIM hardware, and it must not be locked to a carrier. Check both before you buy — an eSIM cannot be moved to another phone once installed.
The 30-second test
*#06#
Open the phone dialler and type *#06#. If a line labelled EID appears alongside the IMEI, your phone has eSIM hardware. No EID line means no eSIM, whatever the model list says.
Where the phone was bought matters
- iPhones sold in mainland China have no eSIM at all. Most models sold in Hong Kong and Macao also have it removed — the known exceptions are iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone SE (2020) and iPhone XS. A model name on this page is not enough on its own; run the *#06# test.
- A phone bought on a carrier contract is often locked and will refuse an eSIM from anyone else. If you are not sure, ask the carrier you bought it from to confirm it is unlocked.

This list is a guide, not a guarantee. Manufacturers change hardware between regions and production runs, so the *#06# test above always wins.
