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

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
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.

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.
