Dial *#06# on your phone to check if it supports eSIM

Before buying

Is your phone compatible?

Q: Is the iPhone compatible with eSIM?

Yes. Every iPhone since the iPhone XS and XR (2018) supports eSIM, including the 2020 and 2022 iPhone SE. iPhones sold in the United States from the iPhone 14 onward work with eSIM only, with no physical slot.

Q: What is the EID code?

The EID is your phone's eSIM identification number, just as the IMEI identifies the phone itself. If dialing *#06# shows a 32-digit EID, it means your device has a built-in eSIM and is compatible.

Almost all phones since 2018 support eSIM. Check in 10 seconds, in two ways.

Quick option: dial *#06#

Open the dialer and type *#06#.

If a 32-digit EID code appears, your mobile phone is compatible.

More about eSIM compatibility

Is my phone compatible with an eSIM?

eSIM compatibility depends on your phone model. The quick rule of thumb: almost all mid-range and high-end phones launched since 2018 support it. The most reliable way to check is to dial *#06# and look for the EID code. Here we answer the most common questions about which phones have eSIM.

Why do some phones not have eSIM?

eSIMs started appearing in mobile phones from 2018 onwards. Older models, very basic ones, or certain regional versions do not include it. If your phone is a mid-range or high-end model and is less than 5 years old, it most likely has one.

Can I have an eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time?

Yes, it's called Dual SIM. Most compatible phones allow you to use your physical SIM for calls and your usual number, and the PuraSim eSIM just for travel data, at the same time.

Does eSIM work on tablets and smartwatches?

Many iPads and some Apple Watches and smartwatches support eSIMs, but it's best to check the specific model. Our eSIMs are primarily designed for mobile phones, which is where internet is most used during travel.

I bought the iPhone in the US, does it work?

Yes. Since the iPhone 14, models sold in the United States work only with eSIM (they do not have a physical card slot), so they are fully compatible with a PuraSim travel eSIM.
