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。由于印度严格的法律，在德里 (DEL) 或孟买 (BOM) 机场购买实体本地 SIM 卡需要强制性、缓慢且复杂的注册流程（护照、签证、照片、当地地址）。 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。 

 为了给您提供最佳的速度和覆盖范围，我们的 eSIM 卡连接到印度的优质一级网络，通常是 Reliance Jio 或 Airtel。这些被广泛认为是第一和第二的提供商，拥有最快的速度和最广泛的 4G/5G 覆盖范围，确保您保持连接。

警告：这是禁区。您必须设定期望。根据政府规定，预付费漫游 SIM 卡在查谟和克什米尔 (J&K) 以及拉达克无法使用。这款 eSIM 可在印度 99% 的地区（德里、果阿、南部等）使用，但如果您前往 J&K 或拉达克，将会失去信号。
