Additional Checks

Check via IMEI / EID

Your device's EID (Embedded Identity Document) is a unique 32-digit number that identifies the eSIM chip. If your device has an EID, it supports eSIM.

  • iOS: Settings → General → About → EID
  • Android: Settings → About phone → SIM status (or IMEI) → EID
  • Physical SIM tray: Some devices print the EID on the SIM card tray

Carrier Lock

Even if your device supports eSIM, it may be carrier-locked, which prevents activation of eSIMs from other providers. Please contact your carrier to check if your device is unlocked before purchasing.

Requirements for Activating eSIM

  • Device supports eSIM (confirmed above)
  • Device is unlocked (not carrier-locked)
  • iOS 12.1+ or Android 9.0+
  • Stable Wi-Fi or data connection during activation
  • Valid QR code or activation code from eSimValue
