Device compatibility

To use a Simfiy eSIM, your phone needs two things: it must support eSIM, and it must be carrier-unlocked. Here's how to check both in under a minute.

The two requirements

1. eSIM support

Your device has the hardware to store a digital SIM profile. Most phones released from 2018 onward qualify.

2. Carrier-unlocked

Your phone is not locked to a single network. If you bought it on a carrier contract, ask them to confirm it is unlocked.

Commonly supported devices

Apple iPhone

iPhone XS, XS Max, XR and every model since, including all iPhone SE (2020+), iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 series.

Google Pixel

Pixel 3 and later (Pixel 3 / 3 XL through the latest Pixel and Pixel Fold). Note: some early carrier-specific Pixel 3 units shipped without eSIM.

Samsung Galaxy

Galaxy S20 and later, recent Note and A-series flagships, and foldables such as Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip.

Other brands

Many recent Motorola, Huawei, Oppo, Sony, and other flagships support eSIM. Always confirm in your device settings — see the steps below.

This list is not exhaustive. Manufacturers add eSIM support to new models all the time, and some regional variants differ — for example, certain iPhone models sold in mainland China have a physical dual-SIM tray instead of an eSIM. When in doubt, check your device settings using the steps below.

Check on iPhone (iOS)

  1. Open Settings › Cellular (or Mobile Service).
  2. If you see Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan, your iPhone supports eSIM.
  3. To confirm it is unlocked, open Settings › General › About and look for No SIM restrictions under Carrier Lock.

Check on Android

  1. Open Settings › Network & internet (or Connections on Samsung).
  2. Tap SIMs or SIM manager and look for Add eSIM or Download a SIM instead.
  3. Alternatively, dial *#06# — if an EID number appears, your device has eSIM hardware.
  4. For unlock status, check with your carrier or look under SIM settings for a network-lock indicator.

Coverage

A compatible phone still needs a plan that covers your destination. Each plan page lists the countries and networks it includes — check coverage before you buy.
