eSIM Compatible Phones 2026: Complete List of Supported Devices

Wondering if your phone supports eSIM? You’re not alone — “is my phone eSIM compatible?” is one of the most searched questions about eSIM technology. The good news: most smartphones released since 2020 support eSIM, and the list keeps growing every year.

In this guide, we cover every eSIM-compatible phone, tablet and smartwatch in 2026, show you how to check your device in seconds, and explain how to set up a travel eSIM once you’ve confirmed compatibility.

How to Check if Your Phone Supports eSIM

Before browsing the full device list, here are three quick ways to check your own phone right now:

Method 1: Dial *#06#

Open your phone’s dialer and type *#06#. If you see an EID (Embedded Identity Document) number alongside your IMEI, your phone supports eSIM. This works on both iPhone and Android.

Method 2: Check iPhone Settings

Go to Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (or Add Cellular Plan). If you see this option, your iPhone is eSIM-compatible. On iOS 17.4 and later, you can also check Settings → General → About and look for “Available SIM” showing eSIM.

Method 3: Check Android Settings

Go to Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add SIM (or “Download a SIM instead”). Samsung users: go to Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → Add eSIM. If the option exists, your phone supports eSIM.

Important: Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked to use a travel eSIM from providers like Esimy. If you bought your phone directly from the manufacturer or paid it off in full, it’s usually unlocked.

5. Enable data roaming — Turn on data roaming for the new eSIM profile
6. Travel! — Your eSIM activates automatically when you arrive at your destination

Pro tip: Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before your trip. Keep your regular SIM/eSIM for calls and texts, and use the travel eSIM for data only.

Dual SIM Setup: Use eSIM + Physical SIM Together

Most modern phones support dual SIM, meaning you can use your regular SIM card alongside a travel eSIM at the same time:

• SIM 1 (physical or eSIM): Your home carrier — keeps your phone number active for calls and texts
• SIM 2 (eSIM): Travel data — provides cheap mobile data at your destination

This is the most popular setup among travelers. You stay reachable on your regular number while avoiding expensive roaming charges for data.

How to switch data between SIMs:

• iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data → Select your travel eSIM
• Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Select data SIM
• Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → Mobile Data → Select travel eSIM

Is eSIM the same as a regular SIM?

Functionally yes — eSIM connects your device to a mobile network just like a physical SIM. The difference is that eSIM is embedded in your phone and activated digitally via a QR code, so there’s no physical card to insert or swap.
