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.

Tidak, internet terbuka. Berbeda dengan Tiongkok Daratan, Makau tidak memiliki "Tembok Api Besar". Anda dapat dengan bebas mengakses Google Maps, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, dan YouTube tanpa memerlukan VPN. eSIM kami memberi Anda akses tak terbatas ke internet global, seperti yang biasa Anda lakukan. 

Tidak otomatis. Meskipun hanya berjarak 1 jam perjalanan feri, Hong Kong dan Makau memiliki sistem telekomunikasi terpisah. Kebanyakan SIM lokal Hong Kong mengharuskan Anda mengaktifkan paket roaming tertentu. Jika Anda telah membeli eSIM khusus Makau kami, tidak akan berfungsi di Hong Kong. Jika Anda mengunjungi kedua kota tersebut (yang dilakukan sebagian besar wisatawan), kami sangat menyarankan paket Regional Asia atau Paket Hong Kong & Makau kami untuk tetap terhubung di kedua sisi Pearl River Delta. 

 Kualitas sinyal sangat penting, terutama di resor kasino besar di Cotai Strip. eSIM kami biasanya terhubung ke CTM (Companhia de Telecomunicações de Macau), penyedia terkemuka di wilayah tersebut. Hal ini memastikan Anda memiliki cakupan 4G/5G yang kuat baik saat menjelajahi Reruntuhan St. Paul's di semenanjung lama atau berbelanja di Venetian Macao. 

Tidak. Membeli kartu SIM prabayar fisik di Makau kini diatur secara ketat dan memerlukan registrasi ID di toko. eSIM perjalanan Cellesim adalah paket roaming khusus data yang memungkinkan Anda melewati proses pendaftaran yang membosankan ini. Anda dapat membeli secara online dan langsung terhubung tanpa menyerahkan rincian paspor Anda atau menunggu dalam antrian di terminal feri. 

Tidak. Paket ini hanya berlaku di Makau. Banyak wisatawan berjalan melintasi gerbang perbatasan menuju Zhuhai (Tiongkok Daratan) untuk berbelanja atau bersantap. Setelah Anda melintasi perbatasan itu, Anda memasuki Tiongkok Daratan, di mana jaringannya berbeda dan sensor internet (firewall) berlaku. Untuk tetap terhubung di Zhuhai, Anda memerlukan eSIM China terpisah atau paket Global yang mencakup perutean mirip VPN. 

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

Tidak, Uber saat ini tidak beroperasi di Makau. Anda memerlukan data yang andal untuk menggunakan aplikasi Taksi Makau, menelepon Taksi Radio, atau menunjukkan tujuan Anda kepada pengemudi di Google Maps untuk mengatasi kendala bahasa. 

Ya. Cakupan sangat baik di seluruh Cotai Strip, memungkinkan Anda untuk tetap terhubung saat menjelajahi kanal-kanal dalam ruangan yang besar di The Venetian atau mengunjungi replika Menara Eiffel di The Parisian. 

Ya. Anda akan mendapatkan jangkauan yang kuat di area Coloane yang lebih tenang, cocok untuk langsung berbagi foto egg tart Portugis yang terkenal dari Lord Stow's Bakery atau pasir hitam Pantai Hac Sa. 

Sangat. Sistem bus di Makau bisa jadi rumit; memiliki data aktif untuk menggunakan Google Maps atau aplikasi Bus Traveling System lokal sangat penting untuk menemukan rute yang benar dan turun di halte yang tepat.
