Does My Phone Support eSIM? Here’s How to Check (Plus iPhone Dual SIM & Samsung eSIM Help)

If you’re trying to figure out “does my phone support eSIM?” you’re in the right place. The annoying part is that two phones with the same name can behave differently (especially on Android) depending on the region or carrier. The good news: you can usually confirm eSIM support in under a minute.

Below are the quickest ways to check, plus a spot where you can check our supported devices table.

The fastest way to check if your phone has eSIM

1) Check your settings (most reliable day-to-day check)

On iPhone

1. Open Settings
2. Tap Cellular (or Mobile Data)
3. Look for Add eSIM / Add Cellular Plan

If you see that option, your iPhone supports eSIM.

On Samsung / Android

1. Open Settings
2. Search for SIM Manager (or go to Connections → SIM manager)
3. Look for Add eSIM / Add mobile plan

If that option is there, you’re very likely good to go.

2) Use the dialer code: *#06# (super quick)

This is the “tell me right now” method.

1. Open your Phone app (dialer)
2. Dial *#06#
3. Look for EID in the list that appears
   If you see EID, your phone supports eSIM in almost all cases.

Not seeing EID doesn’t always mean “no eSIM” (some phones hide it depending on software), but if EID is there, that’s a strong yes.

3) Check your exact model number (important for Android)

This matters because some Android brands ship multiple variants:

• one variant has eSIM
• another one doesn’t
  …even though the marketing name is the same.

So if you’re unsure:

• go to Settings → About phone
• find the model number
• match it against the supported device table below

Which iPhones support eSIM (and dual SIM)?

Most newer iPhones support eSIM, and many support dual SIM too.

Dual SIM on iPhone usually means:

• one physical SIM + one eSIM, or
• two eSIMs (on newer models)

Quick way to confirm on your iPhone:

• Settings → Cellular/Mobile Data
• if you can add another plan and label lines (Primary/Secondary), you’ve got dual SIM support.

Which Samsung phones support eSIM?

This is where people get tripped up, because support can vary by region.

In general, eSIM is most common on:

• Galaxy S-series flagships
• Galaxy Z Fold / Z Flip devices

But don’t trust the phone name alone. Trust:

• SIM manager → Add eSIM
• and your model number in the table.

Quick question people ask: does eSIM change your phone number?

No — eSIM doesn’t “change” your number by itself.

Your number depends on the plan you activate. A common setup is:

• keep your regular SIM for calls/SMS
• add a SimSwift eSIM for travel data (so your main number stays the same)
