Does my phone support eSIM?

The 10-second test: dial *#06#

Open the phone app and dial *#06#. If you see a line called EID (a long 32-digit number), your phone has an eSIM chip. If you only see IMEI numbers, it does not.

Make sure the phone is unlocked

A phone locked to one carrier cannot use other SIMs, including ours. On iPhone: Settings → General → About → “Carrier Lock” must say “No SIM restrictions”. On Android: try any other SIM card, or ask your carrier.

Models that usually do NOT support eSIM

• iPhones bought in mainland China (they use two physical SIM slots instead), and some Hong Kong and Macao models.
• iPhone X and older.
• Many budget Android phones and some regional versions of Samsung Galaxy A and Xiaomi Redmi.

Where to find the eSIM menu

• iPhone: Settings → Cellular (Mobile Data) → Add eSIM.
• Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM.
• Pixel: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Download a SIM instead.

Good questions, quick answers

Do I need to pass KYC or give an ID?

No. NoIDeSim asks for no passport, no selfie, no email and no registration. Pick a destination, pay, and receive your eSIM — that is the whole flow.
