Many Samsung devices are now compatible with eSIM, a technology that offers greater flexibility. If you’re not sure whether your device supports it, you can easily check through your settings or by dialing a special code. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps.

How do I know if my Samsung phone is eSIM compatible?

To check the Samsung eSIM compatibility, you can do it directly from the device. Simply review the phone’s settings or dial *#06# to confirm in seconds.

To check Samsung eSIM compatibility from the Settings:

• Go to Settings > Tap on Connections > Choose SIM manager > If you see the option to Add eSIM or Add Mobile Plan, then your Samsung is compatible with eSIM. If it doesn’t appear, your device does not support this technology.

To keep in mind

• eSIM compatibility can depend on the country where your device was manufactured. Be sure to verify this information before purchasing or setting up your eSIM.
• Some carriers may lock devices to restrict the use of other eSIMs. Check with your carrier to confirm that your Samsung is unlocked.

Troubleshooting tips

Once you’ve confirmed that your Samsung is eSIM compatible and you already have your eSIM, install it in advance. It’s recommended to do so at home, before traveling, and make sure you’re connected to a stable Wi-Fi network to avoid installation issues.

What if you already have a Free Roaming eSIM and your device isn’t compatible?

• You can use your eSIM on another compatible device.
• Save your eSIM for your next trip, it doesn’t expire and can be used later on any eSIM compatible phone.
• You can also gift it to a friend or family member with a compatible device.
