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.

Tidak! Ini adalah jebakan roaming #1. Meskipun secara geografis Gibraltar berada di Eropa, namun BUKAN anggota Uni Eropa (UE). Paket "Roam Like at Home" (RLAH) Anda (misalnya, dari Spanyol, Prancis, Jerman) tidak berlaku. Saat Anda berjalan melintasi perbatasan dari La Línea, ponsel Anda akan terhubung ke jaringan non-UE, dan operator Anda akan mengenakan tarif "Sisa Dunia" yang sangat tinggi. Cellesim eSIM adalah satu-satunya cara untuk mendapatkan harga data yang tetap dan murah. 

Tidak. Ini adalah jebakan terbesar kedua. Meskipun Gibraltar adalah Wilayah Luar Negeri Inggris, namun BUKAN bagian dari Inggris. Sebagian besar operator di Inggris (terutama pasca-Brexit) telah mengecualikan dari zona jelajah bebas mereka dan akan membebankan Anda "Tiket Sehari" yang mahal (£2-£6) atau tarif bayar per MB. eSIM Cellesim jauh lebih murah. 

 Paket khusus ini hanya berlaku di Gibraltar. Ini adalah titik kritis. Koneksi Anda akan berhenti saat Anda berjalan kembali melintasi landasan pacu bandara menuju La Línea, Spanyol. Karena sebagian besar pengunjung adalah pelancong harian dari Spanyol, kami sangat merekomendasikan eSIM Regional Eropa kami, yang mencakup Spanyol dan Gibraltar dengan satu paket. 

Ya, tentu saja. Gibraltar kecil namun memiliki jaringan 4G/5G modern yang luar biasa. eSIM kami terhubung ke jaringan lokal premium (seperti Gibtelecom) yang memberikan sinyal kuat hingga ke Top of the Rock. Anda dapat dengan mudah menggunakan Google Maps atau mengunggah foto selfie Anda dengan kera (kera) Barbary yang terkenal. 

Ya, ini adalah solusi sempurna. Penumpang kapal pesiar hanya berada di pelabuhan selama beberapa jam. Membeli SIM fisik memerlukan pencarian toko, antrean, dan pendaftaran paspor. eSIM kami 100% digital, tidak memerlukan registrasi ID, dan dapat dipasang bahkan sebelum Anda melakukan docking. Anda akan terhubung saat Anda turun dari kapal. 

 Sebagian besar ponsel modern memilikinya, namun Anda harus memeriksa daftar spesifik kami di sini: Perangkat yang Kompatibel dengan eSIM untuk memastikan 100% sebelum membeli. 

Uber tidak beroperasi di Gibraltar. Anda memerlukan data yang dapat diandalkan untuk menemukan nomor taksi lokal di Google Maps atau menggunakan aplikasi GibTaxi untuk berkeliling Rock. 

Ya. Cakupan Europa Point sangat bagus, memungkinkan Anda menyiarkan langsung pemandangan pantai Afrika Utara dan Maroko di seberang selat. 

Ya. Antrean perbatasan untuk melintasi La Línea bisa sangat panjang; memiliki data aktif sangat penting untuk tetap terhibur atau memeriksa waktu tunggu perbatasan langsung secara online. 

Ya. Biasanya Anda akan mendapatkan sinyal 4G yang kuat di Teluk Gibraltar untuk berbagi video lumba-lumba liar, meskipun koneksi terputus jauh di laut.
