How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like Cellesim. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a Cellesim plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A Cellesim travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

4. Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
5. Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.

Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.

Det afhænger af. Da Mayotte er et fransk oversøisk departement (DOM), er det teknisk set en del af EU's "Roam Like at Home"-zone. Men mange europæiske luftfartsselskaber har "Fair Use Policies", der i høj grad begrænser dataforbruget i oversøiske territorier (RUP), eller de kan begrænse hastighederne. For rejsende fra lande uden for EU (Storbritannien, USA, Asien) er roaminggebyrer ekstremt høje. Et Cellesim Mayotte eSIM garanterer dig en dedikeret højhastighedsdatatilladelse uden at bekymre dig om skjulte operatørgrænser. 

 For at sikre pålidelig dækning på både Grande-Terre og Petite-Terre, forbinder vores eSIM til øens førende udbydere, typisk Orange Mayotte eller SFR Mayotte. Disse operatører tilbyder den bedste 4G/LTE-infrastruktur, der sikrer, at du forbliver forbundet, uanset om du er i hovedstaden Mamoudzou eller vandrer Mount Choungui. 

Ja. At ankomme til Mayotte involverer normalt landing i Dzaoudzi Lufthavn (Petite-Terre) og tage den berømte pram ("La Pram") til Mamoudzou (Grande-Terre). Vores eSIM giver fremragende dækning i lufthavnen og under færgeoverfarten, så du kan tjekke din hotelreservation, koordinere afhentninger eller uploade dine første billeder af lagunen, mens du krydser vandet. 

Ja, i de fleste kystområder. Mayotte kan prale af en af ​​verdens største lukkede laguner. Dækningen er generelt god langs kysten og strande som N'Gouja (berømt for havskildpadder). Du kan forvente, at 4G-signaler fungerer godt til at dele dine snorkelvideoer, selvom signalet kan være svagere, hvis du går langt ud til havet eller ind i dybe indre dale. 

Nej. Selvom det er geografisk tæt på, er Unionen Comorerne et separat land med forskellige telekommunikationsnetværk. Denne plan er kun gyldig i Mayotte (Frankrig). Hvis du besøger andre øer i øgruppen (som Grande Comore eller Anjouan), skal du bruge en separat global eller regional plan, da din Mayotte-forbindelse stopper ved grænsen. 

 Det gør de fleste moderne telefoner, men du skal tjekke vores specifikke liste her: eSIM-kompatible enheder for at være 100 % sikker, før du køber. 

Absolut. Trafikken i hovedstaden Mamoudzou kan være meget tung. Pålidelige data er afgørende for at bruge Waze eller Google Maps til at navigere i trængslen og finde vej til markedet eller færgeterminalen. 

Du vil generelt have signal på toppen af ​​Mount Choungui, der tilbyder 360-graders udsigt over øen, så du kan uploade panoramabilleder med det samme, selvom dækningen kan falde i den tætte skov på vej op. 

Ja. Dækningen er pålidelig omkring kraterkanten af ​​Lake Dziani på Petite Terre, perfekt til live-streaming af udsigten over det smaragdgrønne vand og det fjerne hav. 

Ja. Selvom den generelle stranddækning er god, har N'Gouja specifikt et stærkt signal, så du med det samme kan dele videoer af de fastboende havskildpadder og lemurer, der frekventerer området.
