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.

No! This is the #1 roaming trap. Although Turkey is geographically in Europe, it is NOT a member of the European Union (EU). Your "Roam Like at Home" (RLAH) plan does not apply. Most EU and UK carriers (like Vodafone, O2, EE, T-Mobile DE) will charge you extremely high international roaming fees (e.g., £2-£6 per day). A Cellesim eSIM is a one-time prepaid fee that is significantly cheaper. 

Yes, 100%. Buying a physical "Tourist SIM" at Istanbul (IST) or Sabiha (SAW) airport is famously expensive and slow.

Yes! Our eSIM connects to premium networks that provide excellent coverage on all major tourist routes. You will have strong 4G/LTE speed not just in Istanbul, but also while watching the hot air balloons in Cappadocia, on the beaches of Antalya and Bodrum, and at the ruins in Ephesus. 

 To give you the best speed and coverage, our eSIM connects to Turkey’s premium Tier-1 networks, typically Turkcell or Vodafone Turkey. Turkcell is widely regarded as the best network in the country with the most extensive coverage, especially in the remote villages and mountains of Cappadocia.
