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.

不！这是最常见的错误。虽然根西岛是英国皇家属地，但它不是英国的一部分，也不是欧盟的一部分。因此，“像在家一样漫游”（欧盟）和标准英国运营商计划不适用。大多数英国和欧盟提供商都会向您收取昂贵的国际漫游费（即日起，每天 2-6 英镑或每 MB 2 英镑）。 Cellesim Guernsey eSIM 便宜得多，可以让您免于巨额账单。 

 此特定计划仅适用于根西岛。 “根西岛行政区”和“泽西岛行政区”是两个独立的司法管辖区，拥有不同的电信网络。如果您计划“跳岛游”并访问泽西岛，则需要单独的计划或查看我们的海峡群岛地区 eSIM（如果有）以便在两个地方保持联系。
