The 60-second test: dial *#06#
Every phone with eSIM hardware has an EID, a 32-digit embedded identity document number. Open the phone app, dial *#06# and a box appears listing the IMEI numbers. If an EID line appears below them, the hardware supports eSIM. If the box shows IMEI numbers only, the phone has no eSIM and you should order a physical travel SIM instead.
On iPhone you can also look in Settings, General, About and scroll to EID. On Samsung the same screen is Settings, About phone, Status information. The EID test is the one that matters; model lists, including ours, cannot capture every regional variant.
Carrier lock: the second thing to check
An eSIM-capable phone can still refuse a travel eSIM if it is locked to the carrier that sold it. Locks are common on phones bought on instalment plans in the USA, Canada, Japan and parts of Europe. Phones bought outright in India are sold unlocked.
- iPhone: Settings, General, About, Carrier Lock. It should read "No SIM restrictions".
- Samsung: Settings, Connections, SIM manager. A locked phone shows a message about the network when you add a second line, or refuses to download the profile.
- Pixel: Settings, Network and internet, SIMs. Locked units show "SIM locked by carrier" after a download attempt.
If your phone is locked, ask the carrier for an unlock; most are obliged to grant it once the contract is paid off. We refund any plan that cannot be installed on a locked phone under the refund policy.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the same model show "some variants"?
Manufacturers build regional variants with different radios and firmware. Xiaomi, Vivo, OnePlus Nord and some Samsung FE and A-series phones ship with eSIM in Europe and without it in India. The *#06# test on your own phone is final.
Do iPhones bought in India support eSIM?
Yes. Every iPhone from the XS onwards sold in India supports eSIM and keeps a nano-SIM slot. Only mainland China units lack eSIM, and some Hong Kong and Macau units use two physical SIMs instead.
Which Samsung phones in India do not support eSIM?
The Galaxy M-series, the A14, A24 and most A-series models below the A34, the S20 FE and the S21 FE. S-series flagships from the S20 onwards, the Z Fold and Z Flip, and the A34, A54 and A55 do support it.
Do OnePlus phones support eSIM in India?
The OnePlus 11, 12, 13, 13R and Open do. The 10 Pro and earlier flagships do not, and the Nord CE 3 and CE 4 sold in India do not.
Is a Pixel bought in India eSIM-ready?
Yes. Pixel 7 onwards launched officially in India with eSIM. Earlier Pixels imported from elsewhere also support it unless they are Japanese or certain US carrier units.
What about Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco?
As of October 2026 no Redmi or Poco phone sold in India has eSIM. Xiaomi number-series flagships have eSIM on European units only. Check *#06#.
