Does your phone support eSIM?
Type your model — iPhone 12, Galaxy S23, Pixel 7. The list covers the phones and tablets people buy most; whatever it says, the phone itself has the final word, and checking it takes two taps.
Make sure on the phone itself

- 2 Same screen, Carrier Lock: it has to say “No SIM restrictions”.
- 3 iPhone XS and newer, unless it was bought in mainland China.
Android
- 1 Dial *#06#: an EID in the list means the phone takes an eSIM.
- 2 Settings → About phone → SIM status, or Network → SIM manager → Add eSIM.
- 3 Pixel 3 and newer, Galaxy S20 and newer, and many others — the region it was bought in matters.
