Before you buy

Let’s check your travel companion.

Choose your phone’s exact model and the country where you bought it.

Check your phone

The exact model, not the family name: an iPhone 17 and an iPhone 17e are different phones. And the country where the phone was bought, not where you are now.

Phone compatibility check

Choose a brand, a model and the country where it was bought, and we will tell you what we know.

Not sure which model you have?

Open your phone’s device information in Settings. Check the exact model and purchase region, not just the family name.

Ask us before you buy

Every model we have checked.

70 models, checked against the maker’s own pages. A model that is not here has not been checked: we say we cannot confirm it rather than guess. Carrier locks are never part of this list: a phone can support eSIM and still be locked to its first network.

A few things before you fly.

Is my phone eSIM compatible?

It depends on the exact model and the country it was bought in, not only on the brand and the year. Choose both above and we will tell you what we have confirmed, or say that we cannot confirm it. Is my phone eSIM compatible?

How do I check if my phone is unlocked?

An eSIM is another network’s line, so your phone must be carrier-unlocked. Your provider can confirm it, and most phones show a lock status in Settings. How to check

What if my model is not listed above?

Then we have not checked it, and we will not guess: a wrong answer would sell you an eSIM you cannot install. Check for an EID in your phone’s eSIM settings, or ask us before you buy. How to check for an EID

Can a phone that is locked to a network use a travel eSIM?

No. A carrier-locked phone accepts only the SIM or eSIM of the network it is locked to, so a travel eSIM will not install or connect until the phone is unlocked. How to check your lock
