厄瓜多尔和加拉帕戈斯 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

• Most budget Android phones (entry-level Samsung A series before A53, Xiaomi Redmi entry models).
• Older Huawei devices without Google Services.

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.

是的！这是最重要的问题。我们的 eSIM 连接到本地网络（如 Claro），为有人居住的岛屿上的主要城镇提供 4G/LTE 覆盖：阿约拉港（圣克鲁斯）和巴克里索莫雷诺港（圣克里斯托瓦尔）。 注意：仅覆盖这些城镇。一旦您的游轮离开港口或您前往偏远岛屿（如伊莎贝拉岛或弗洛里阿纳岛），您必须预计会失去信号。这款 eSIM 比游轮上昂贵的卫星 Wi-Fi 便宜远。 

不！这是我们 eSIM 的最大优势。在厄瓜多尔购买实体本地 SIM 卡可能非常困难，因为政府需要复杂的 IMEI 注册流程来防止盗窃。我们的 eSIM 是一项漫游计划，它将您归类为“游客”，并让您免除整个官僚程序。您可以立即连接，无需担心手机被屏蔽。 

 此特定计划仅在厄瓜多尔境内有效。这是一个关键点。如果您在“Gringo Trail”上，从哥伦比亚（伊皮亚莱斯）乘坐巴士或穿越进入秘鲁（曼科拉），您的转乘将在边境停靠。为此，我们强烈推荐我们的拉丁美洲区域 eSIM。 

 您必须设定期望。您将在所有主要城市（基多、瓜亚基尔、昆卡）和旅游城镇（巴尼奥斯、蒙塔尼塔）获得良好的4G/LTE覆盖。然而，亚马逊雨林（例如 Cuyabeno、Yasuní）极其偏远。您在主要门户城镇（如拉戈阿格里奥）会有信号，但一旦您到达丛林深处的小屋，必须就会没有信号。 

不！这是一个常见的错误。尽管厄瓜多尔使用美元，但它是一个独立国家，不属于美国任何国内计划的一部分。大多数本地运营商（例如 AT&T、Verizon、T-Mobile）都会向您收取昂贵的国际“日通行证”费率（例如每天 10-14 美元）。 Cellesim eSIM 是一种一次性预付费用，价格便宜得多。 

 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。 

是的。为了确保厄瓜多尔主要城市的安全，强烈建议使用 Uber 或 Cabify，可靠的数据可确保您可以实时跟踪您的行程。 

是的。巴尼奥斯镇的覆盖范围非常广，您可以立即发布“世界尽头秋千”的视频。 

大多数情况下是的。基洛托阿环线沿线的村庄会有信号，但预计村庄之间的高海拔小径上信号会下降。 

是的。昆卡是数字游牧民族的中心，我们的 eSIM 提供稳定的 4G LTE 速度，适合 Zoom 通话和在殖民咖啡馆工作。
