How do I check if my iOS device supports eSIM?

Determining whether your device is eSIM-compatible can vary depending on the manufacturer and your region's availability. That's why we maintain a comprehensive list of eSIM Supported Devices to simplify the checking process.

However, it's essential to note that in some countries or regions, certain device models may be released without eSIM capability, or your carrier may not have enabled the eSIM feature. To verify if your device supports eSIM technology, follow the steps provided below.

Please keep in mind that these steps may differ based on your device model. The most reliable method to confirm eSIM compatibility is still through your device manufacturer, vendor, or primary carrier.

Before activating an eSIM on your iPhone, it's essential to ensure that your device is carrier unlocked. This ensures compatibility and seamless use of eSIM technology. Below are the steps to determine if your iPhone is carrier locked or unlocked:

Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Tap on "General" from the list of options.
Select "About" from the General menu.
Scroll down to locate the "Carrier Lock" section.
Check if it says "No SIM restrictions" next to Carrier Lock.

If "No SIM restrictions" is displayed, your iPhone is carrier unlocked and ready for eSIM use.

Please note that these steps may vary slightly depending on your iPhone model.

Now to check if your iPhone supports eSIM, please follow the steps below:

Go to settings.
Go to Cellular.
On this screen you will find an Add eSIM option.

If "No SIM restrictions" is displayed, your iPhone is carrier unlocked and ready for eSIM use.

Please note that these steps may vary slightly depending on your iPhone model.
