Check your phone

  1. Match the model number

    Open Settings → About phone (or About device). Match the number and original sales region against the manufacturer’s specifications.

  2. Find the eSIM settings

    Look for EID in your device information. An IMEI alone does not prove eSIM support. Check Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM.

  3. Confirm carrier unlocking

    Ask the carrier that originally sold the device to confirm it is network-unlocked and can use another provider’s eSIM. Android does not have one lock-status menu shared by every brand. Your provider still needs to support your device.
