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.

是的，在关键区域。在旅行期间保持联系对于分享“五巨头”照片至关重要。我们的 eSIM 连接到当地最好的信号塔，为马赛马拉、安博塞利和察沃的大多数游猎小屋、营地入口和大门提供可靠的4G/LTE信号。但是，在驾车深入灌木丛或低洼山谷时，请注意信号盲区。 

 网络选择是肯尼亚的第一要务。为了确保全国范围内的优质覆盖，我们的 eSIM 连接到肯尼亚的优质提供商，通常是 Safaricom 或 Airtel Kenya。 Safaricom 因其覆盖范围最广而受到广泛认可，无论您是在内罗毕的繁华城市还是迪亚尼海滩的白色沙滩，都能确保您保持联系。 

 此特定计划仅在肯尼亚境内有效。许多旅行者将马赛马拉（肯尼亚）和塞伦盖蒂（坦桑尼亚）结合起来进行大迁徙。一旦您越过纳曼加或伊塞巴尼亚边境，您的连接将停止。为了实现无缝的东非之旅，我们强烈推荐我们的非洲区域 eSIM，以便在肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚、乌干达和卢旺达保持联系，而无需交换计划。 

不需要。在乔莫肯雅塔国际机场 (JKIA) 购买实体 SIM 卡需要强制且严格的注册流程，包括护照扫描和照片拍摄。 Cellesim eSIM 让您可以跳过这些长长的队列。您可以在线购买并立即安装您的计划，绕过官僚机构并在落地后立即上网。 

否。这是纯数据 eSIM。它没有肯尼亚当地电话号码，因此您无法拨打传统语音电话或注册M-PESA（肯尼亚的移动货币系统）。不过，您可以使用 WhatsApp、FaceTime 或 Skype 通过高速数据连接拨打电话和发送消息。 

 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。 Uber、Bolt 和 Little Cab 是游览内罗毕最安全、最可靠的方式。可靠的数据对于预订乘车和跟踪司机至关重要，以避免在城市拥挤的交通中迷路。 

内罗毕和蒙巴萨之间的大部分旅程通常都会有 4G 信号，但当火车经过察沃国家公园的偏远地区时，连接可能会短暂中断。 

是的。海岸线的覆盖范围非常广，包括迪亚尼海滩、马林迪和瓦塔姆，让您可以分享白色沙滩的照片或立即查看潮汐表以进行风筝冲浪。 

Old Moses 和 Met Station 等地势较低的营地的信号覆盖是可靠的，但当您向莱纳纳角 (Point Lenana) 爬升到更高处时，预计信号会变得间歇性或取决于风力。
