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.

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.

不！这是我们 eSIM 的最大优势。根据加蓬法律，在利伯维尔 (LBV) 机场购买实体本地 SIM 卡需要强制性、缓慢且复杂的护照和身份证注册流程。 Cellesim eSIM 基于漫游，这意味着您免除所有这些官僚机构。您可以在线购买、立即安装并跳过注册队列。 

 您必须正确设定期望。您将在首都利伯维尔和主要商业城市让蒂尔港获得可靠的4G/LTE覆盖。然而，加蓬 90% 的土地都是偏远雨林。一旦您乘坐飞机或驾车进入内陆地区（例如，前往卢安戈国家公园），您必须预计信号会间歇性或完全不存在。这款 eSIM 适用于城市，而不适合深入丛林跋涉（为此您需要卫星电话）。 

不，绝对不是。虽然加蓬是法语国家，但它不是欧盟或任何法国国内计划的一部分。大多数本地运营商（例如 Orange FR、AT&T 或 Vodafone UK）都会向您收取“世界其他地区”国际漫游费率的最高费率（例如每天 10-15 美元）。 Cellesim eSIM 是一种一次性预付费用，价格便宜得多。 

 在基础设施脆弱的环境中，这是关键。我们的 eSIM 连接到加蓬的主要提供商，通常是 Airtel Gabon 或 Moov Africa（加蓬电信）。这可确保您使用最稳定的 3G/4G 网络进行基本通信。 

是的，绝对。加蓬可能会经历电力波动（“délestage”），这会立即破坏酒店和办公室的所有 Wi-Fi。移动塔通常依靠备用发电机运行。 eSIM 是您的生命线，当所有其他互联网来源出现故障时，它可以为 WhatsApp 和电子邮件（对于安全/物流至关重要）提供稳定的连接。 

 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。经济首都让蒂尔港的信号覆盖可靠，让您可以不间断地处理业务电子邮件和通话。 

是的。您可以在利伯维尔河口对面的 Pointe-Denis 热门周末度假胜地享受良好的信号，分享照片，同时放松身心。 

绝对地。使用 Google 地图对于在利伯维尔的街道上导航或向出租车司机显示您的确切目的地以避免混淆至关重要。 

是的。在利伯维尔和弗朗斯维尔等主要城市，4G LTE 网络足够稳定，可以进行清晰的 WhatsApp 或 Zoom 视频通话。
