What is an eSIM and Why Should You Care?

An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM card that is built directly into your phone’s hardware. Unlike a physical SIM card that you have to insert, an eSIM can be activated digitally by installing a “profile.”

For a traveler, the benefits are immense:

• Instant Activation: Get online within minutes of purchase. No more searching for a local SIM card store after a long flight.
• No Physical Hassle: You can’t lose or damage what’s already built into your phone.
• Dual SIM Power: Most compatible phones allow you to use an eSIM alongside your physical SIM. This means you can keep your home number for calls and texts while using your Yoho Mobile eSIM for affordable data abroad. It’s the best of both worlds in dual SIM technology.

This evolution in travel connectivity is a game-changer, making global communication easier and more affordable than ever. For more details on the core technology, see how eSIMs compare to physical SIMs.

The Quickest Ways to Check Your Phone’s eSIM Compatibility

Not sure if your phone has this embedded SIM technology? Don’t worry. Here are two simple methods to find out in under a minute.

Method 1: The EID Dial Code Trick

One of the fastest ways to check is to look for your phone’s EID (eSIM Identifier) number. It’s a unique code for your phone’s embedded SIM, similar to an IMEI for the device itself.

1. Open your phone’s dialer, just like you’re about to make a call.
2. Dial *#06# and press call.
3. A screen with device information will pop up. If you see an “EID” number listed, your phone is eSIM compatible! If you only see IMEI and MEID numbers, it likely does not support eSIM.

Method 2: Checking Your Phone’s Settings

You can also find the option to add an eSIM directly in your device’s settings. This is a definitive way to confirm compatibility.

• For Apple iPhone: Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data). If you see a button that says “Add eSIM” or “Add Cellular Plan,” your iPhone is compatible.
• For Android (Samsung, Google Pixel, etc.): The path can vary slightly, but generally, you’ll go to Settings > Network & Internet or Connections > SIM Card Manager. If you find an option like “Add eSIM” or a “+” sign to add a mobile plan, your device is ready.

My Phone Isn’t Compatible. Now What?

If you’ve checked and found your phone doesn’t support eSIM, don’t panic. The first thing to verify is whether your phone is “carrier-locked.” An unlocked phone is required to use any eSIM from an alternative provider. You can learn more about how to check if your phone is unlocked. If it is locked, contact your home carrier to request that they unlock it.

If your device simply lacks the hardware, it might be time to consider an upgrade before your next big trip. The convenience, cost savings, and security of using an eSIM for travel are significant advantages that will enhance all your future adventures.

You can easily switch between which line is used for data in your phone’s settings.

What are the main benefits of using an eSIM for international travel over roaming?

These are excellent international roaming alternatives.

Yes, definitely. The mobile industry is rapidly moving towards an eSIM-first future. We expect nearly all mid-range and flagship smartphones released in 2025 and beyond to be eSIM-compatible. Some regions are even seeing a move to eSIM-only devices, as highlighted by recent iPhone models in the US.

My phone is eSIM-compatible, but it’s carrier-locked. What can I do?

To use a third-party eSIM, your device must be unlocked. You will need to contact the original carrier you purchased the phone from and request that they unlock it. Most carriers will do this for free once your device is fully paid off or your contract term is complete.
