乍得 eSIM

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. The fastest way to verify your specific device is to check Settings , if you see "Add eSIM" or "Add cellular plan" as an option, you're compatible.

eSIM compatibility is now standard across the high-end smartphone market and rapidly spreading into mid-range devices. Cellesim works with any unlocked, eSIM-capable device , no special configuration needed beyond scanning the QR code we send you.

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.

What to check before buying a travel eSIM

1. eSIM hardware: dial *#06# , if an EID number appears, you're compatible.
2. Carrier unlock status: phones bought on instalment plans may be locked to your home carrier. Most outright purchases are unlocked.
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.

Travel-friendly phones that don't support eSIM

• iPhones older than XS (iPhone X, 8, 7, 6 series).
• Most budget Android phones (entry-level Samsung A series before A53, Xiaomi Redmi entry models).
• Older Huawei devices without Google Services.
• Region-specific dual physical SIM variants (verify 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。覆盖范围仅限于首都恩贾梅纳，或许还包括蒙杜或阿贝歇等主要城镇的中心。乍得 90% 的地区是偏远沙漠/稀树草原，移动覆盖范围为零 (0)。此 eSIM仅是您在首都时的一种解决方案。对于任何外地任务（例如扎库马、恩内迪或边境地区），您必须拥有卫星电话。 

不！这是安全性和便利性方面的最大优势。在恩贾梅纳购买实体本地 SIM 卡是一个非常缓慢、繁琐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 连接到恩贾梅纳的主要提供商，通常是 Airtel Chad 或 Millicom (Tigo)。这可确保您使用最稳定的 3G/4G 网络进行基本通信。 

是的。该连接不是为了流媒体，而是专门为了满足专业人士的需求。它在恩贾梅纳足够稳定，可以发送/接收电子邮件、检查安全警报以及通过 WhatsApp 或 Signal 拨打电话，这些对于协调至关重要。 

 此特定计划仅在乍得境内有效。这是区域任务的关键点。您的连接将在边境停止。为了实现无缝的多国旅行，我们强烈建议您查看我们的非洲地区 eSIM 计划，以便在所有边境保持联系。 

 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。 

覆盖范围非常有限。在廷加纳主旅馆，您可能会遇到信号间歇性的情况，但在扎库马丛林深处探险期间，您可能会处于离线状态。 

一般不会。恩内迪地区极其偏远； mobile towers are scarce, so do not rely on this eSIM for safety in the deep desert. 

优步等主要应用程序不在乍得运营。然而，通过 WhatsApp 联系私人司机时，可靠的数据至关重要，这是安排交通的标准方式。 

绝对地。由于很少有人说英语，因此拥有谷歌翻译（法语/阿拉伯语）的活跃数据对于在乍得的市场和检查站进行沟通至关重要。
