Is my device compatible with an eSIM?

Skratch will automatically tell you if your device is compatible or not with an eSIM.

Note: Regardless of the phone you have, it must be unlocked from carrier restrictions to use eSIMs. Some phones are tied to a specific mobile operator and can only use data plans from that network.

If you want to double check, here are three simple ways to do so:

1. Check if your device settings include an “Add eSIM” option

Samsung: Open Settings > Connections > SIM card manager > Add eSIM

If you see an “Add eSIM” option, your phone supports eSIMs and you’re good to go

iOS: Open Settings > Mobile Service or Cellular > Add eSIM

If you see an “Add eSIM” option, your phone supports eSIMs and you’re good to go.

Other major Android manufacturers:

Google Pixel: Open Settings > Networks and Internet > Advanced > Add Operator

If you see a QR code scanner, your phone supports eSIMs and you’re good to go.

Huawei: Open Settings > Mobile Networks > SIM Management submenu > Add eSIM

If you see an activation code input, your phone supports eSIMs and you’re good to go.

Xiaomi: Open Settings > Network > Add eSIM

If you see an “Add eSIM” option, your phone supports eSIMs and you’re good to go.

Motorola: Open Settings > Internet & Networks > Mobile Networks > Advanced > Carrier

If you see an “Add Carrier” option, your phone supports eSIMs and you’re good to go.

2. Search for “IMEI” in your settings

Tap “IMEI information” (or similar). If you see an “IMEI (eSIM)” or “EID”, your phone supports eSIMs and you’re good to go.
