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.

Travel-friendly phones that don't support eSIM

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.

 Paket khusus ini hanya berlaku di Réunion. Ini adalah pertanyaan paling kritis bagi para "island hopper". Jika Anda melakukan perjalanan multi-negara dan terbang ke Mauritius (negara terpisah), koneksi Anda akan terhenti. Untuk liburan dua pulau yang populer ini, kami sangat merekomendasikan eSIM Regional kami yang mencakup keduanya Réunion dan Mauritius. 

Ini rumit.

• Bagi Warga Negara Uni Eropa: Ya, "Roam Like at Home" (RLAH) secara teknis berlaku. Namun, banyak operator non-Prancis (misalnya, dari Jerman, Spanyol) menerapkan "Kebijakan Penggunaan Wajar" yang ketat untuk wilayah terpencil dan mungkin membatasi atau membatasi data Anda.
• Untuk Warga Negara Inggris/AS: Tidak! Paket Inggris pasca-Brexit dan semua paket AS akan membebankan biaya roaming internasional "Sisa Dunia" yang sangat tinggi kepada Anda.

ESIM Cellesim menjamin a harga tetap dan data berkecepatan tinggi tanpa batasan "Penggunaan Wajar".

Ya, di sebagian besar bidang utama. Réunion memiliki jaringan Prancis kelas dunia. Anda akan mendapatkan sinyal 4G/5G yang kuat di sudut pandang Piton de la Fournaise (gunung berapi) dan di desa-desa utama "Cirques" (seperti Cilaos). Namun, begitu Anda melakukan pendakian jarak jauh, Anda akan kehilangan sinyal. Ini sempurna untuk navigasi ke pendakian, namun tidak selama keseluruhan perjalanan. 

 Untuk memberikan Anda kecepatan terbaik (seperti yang Anda harapkan di Prancis), eSIM kami terhubung ke jaringan premium Tingkat 1 Réunion, biasanya Orange Réunion atau SFR Réunion. Hal ini memastikan Anda mendapatkan kecepatan 4G/LTE (dan 5G) tercepat yang tersedia, baik saat Anda berada di Saint-Denis atau di pantai di Saint-Gilles. 

Ya, 100%. Membeli SIM fisik "prabayar" di Bandara Roland Garros (RUN) memerlukan pencarian kios (yang mungkin ramai), dan melalui proses pendaftaran paspor wajib seperti yang diwajibkan oleh hukum Prancis. eSIM kami 100% digital, tidak memerlukan registrasi tanda pengenal, dan dapat dipasang sebelum Anda terbang, sehingga Anda langsung terhubung saat Anda mendarat. 

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

Sangat. Data yang andal untuk Google Maps atau Waze sangat penting untuk menavigasi "jalan 400 tikungan" yang berkelok-kelok menuju Cilaos atau pesisir Route du Littoral. 

Ya. Cakupan sangat bagus di sepanjang pantai laguna barat seperti l'Ermitage dan Boucan Canot, memungkinkan Anda memposting foto matahari terbenam secara instan. 

Ya. Saint-Pierre, "ibu kota wilayah selatan", memiliki infrastruktur 4G+ yang kuat, menjadikannya basis yang tepat untuk pekerjaan jarak jauh dan panggilan video. 

Anda akan mendapat sinyal di helipad di Saint-Gilles atau Pierrefonds, tetapi koneksi jelas akan terputus saat terbang tinggi di atas air terjun Trou de Fer yang terpencil.
