Most flagship smartphones released since 2018-2019 support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 series and newer. Tablets, smartwatches and an increasing number of laptops also support eSIM.

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.

3. iOS version: iOS 12.1 or newer for full eSIM support.
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.

 您必须正确设定期望。覆盖范围仅仅限于首都班吉。我们的 eSIM 连接到最佳的本地网络（例如 Orange 或 Telecel），在主要城市中心和 M'Poko 国际机场 (BGF) 附近提供 3G/4G 信号。对于基本通信来说它足够可靠。 

不。这是一个关键的安全点。一旦您离开首都班吉，您必须假设移动覆盖范围为零 (0)。此 eSIM仅是您在班吉时的一种解决方案。对于任何外勤任务，您必须拥有卫星电话或设备。 

不！这是安全性和便利性方面的最大优势。在班吉购买当地实体 SIM 卡需要一个缓慢、官僚且存在潜在风险的亲自护照登记流程。我们的 eSIM 是一项漫游计划，绕过所有这些官僚机构。您可以在飞行前安装它，并在着陆后立即连接。 

 在基础设施脆弱的环境中，这是关键。我们的 eSIM 连接到班吉的主要提供商，通常是 Orange Centrafrique 或 Telecel。这可确保您使用最稳定的网络来进行必要的通信。 

是的。该连接速度不足以传输 4K 视频，但它是专门为满足专业人士的需求而设计的。它足够稳定，可以在班吉发送/接收电子邮件、检查安全警报以及通过 WhatsApp 或 Signal 拨打电话（这对于协调至关重要）。 

 大多数现代手机都可以，但您必须在此处查看我们的具体列表：eSIM兼容设备，以便在购买前 100% 确定。 

覆盖范围极其有限。您可能会发现巴扬加 (Bayanga) 的旅馆区附近信号较弱，但在徒步前往桑加 (Dzanga-Sangha) 观赏大猩猩或大象时，预计信号会处于离线状态。 

是的。在班吉或各省移动时，可靠的数据对于从大使馆应用程序或联合国/非政府组织警报系统接收实时安全更新至关重要。 

是的，完全支持网络共享。这对于需要在宾馆连接笔记本电脑的人道主义工作人员来说至关重要，因为宾馆的 Wi-Fi 速度通常很慢或根本不存在。 

绝对地。虽然路标很少，但拥有谷歌地图数据或下载离线地图对于安全地在班吉郊外未铺砌的道路上行驶至关重要。
