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 placeringen. I Ulaanbaatar og større provinscentre (Aimag-centre) vil du have fremragende 4G/LTE-hastigheder. Gobi-ørkenen og de store stepper er dog yderst afsidesliggende. Mens vores eSIM opretter forbindelse til de bedste tilgængelige tårne, kan signalet være intermitterende eller ikke-eksisterende i dybe ørkenområder (som Khongor Sand Dunes). De fleste turistlejre i Ger ligger i nærheden af ​​signaltårne, men vi anbefaler kraftigt at downloade offlinekort, før du forlader byen. 

 Plidelighed er alt i Mongoliet. Vores eSIM forbinder til landets førende udbydere, typisk Unitel eller Mobicom. Disse operatører har den mest omfattende infrastruktur i hele landet, hvilket giver dig den bedst mulige chance for at forblive forbundet, uanset om du er til Ørnefestivalen i Bayan-Ölgii eller besøger Khövsgöl-søen. 

 Denne specifikke plan er kun gyldig i Mongoliet. Den trans-mongolske jernbane er en populær rejse, der forbinder Rusland, Mongoliet og Kina. Når toget krydser grænsen til Rusland (Sibirien) eller Kina (Indre Mongoliet), stopper din forbindelse. Til denne legendariske togrejse anbefaler vi stærkt, at du tjekker vores Asia Regional eller Global eSIM-planer for at holde forbindelsen på tværs af alle tre lande. 

Ja. GPS er afgørende for at navigere i Mongoliets umarkerede grusveje. Vores eSIM giver dig mulighed for at bruge Google Maps eller Maps.me. Selvom du muligvis mister signalet mellem destinationer, er det afgørende for sikkerheden og kommunikationen med din rejsearrangør eller udlejningsbureau at have en aktiv forbindelse, når du når højere terræn eller bebyggelser. 

Ja. De fleste traditionelle Ger-lejre har ikke Wi-Fi, eller det er meget langsomt. Personal Hotspot (tethering) er fuldt understøttet på vores eSIM. Det betyder, at du kan omdanne din telefon til en router og dele dine data med din bærbare computer eller venner inde i din Ger for at uploade dine stjerneklare natbilleder eller tjekke e-mails inden du går i seng. 

 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. 

Nej, Uber opererer ikke i Mongoliet. Du har brug for pålidelige data for at bruge UBCab, den mest populære lokale taxa-app, for at komme sikkert rundt i Ulaanbaatar og undgå sprogbarrierer med chauffører. 

Du vil generelt have et stærkt signal i gateway-landsbyerne Khatgal og Hankh, så du kan dele billeder af "Blue Pearl of Asia", men dækningen falder betydeligt, hvis du begiver dig ud på vandet eller fjerntliggende kyster. 

Ja. Dækningen er pålidelig ved den massive Genghis Khan Equestrian Statue i Tsonjin Boldog, så du kan livestreame panoramaudsigten fra observationsdækket på hestens hoved. 

Absolut. Hvis du besøger Naadam i juli, er pålidelige data afgørende for at kontrollere tidsplanerne i realtid for brydning, bueskydning og hestevæddeløb på National Sports Stadium eller Khui Doloon Khudag.
