An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of inserting a physical SIM card, you download a data plan directly to your device via a QR code or direct install link. It works alongside your existing SIM — no need to remove anything.

How do I check if my phone supports eSIM?

Use our free checker above — it auto-detects your device. You can also check manually: on iPhone, go to Settings → General → About and look for "Digital SIM" or "eSIM". On Android, go to Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs and look for "Add eSIM" or "Download SIM".

Does my phone need to be unlocked for eSIM?

Yes. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked (not locked to a specific network) to use an eSIM from Roamaly or any other eSIM provider. On iPhone, check Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock — it should say "No SIM restrictions". Contact your carrier to check or request an unlock.

Which iPhones support eSIM?

All iPhones from iPhone XS (2018) onwards support eSIM, including iPhone XR, iPhone SE (2nd & 3rd gen), and the entire iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 series. iPhone 14 (US models) and later are eSIM-only with no physical SIM tray.

Which Samsung phones support eSIM?

Samsung Galaxy S20 and later (S21, S22, S23, S24, S25 series), Galaxy Z Fold2 and later, Galaxy Z Flip3 and later, Galaxy Note 20 and later, and some Galaxy A series (A34, A35, A54, A55).

Which Google Pixel phones support eSIM?

Google Pixel 3 and all later models support eSIM, including Pixel 3a, 4, 4a, 5, 5a, 6, 6a, 6 Pro, 7, 7a, 7 Pro, 8, 8a, 8 Pro, 9, 9a, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL.

Can I use eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time?

Yes! Most eSIM-compatible phones support dual SIM — your existing physical SIM stays active for calls and texts, while the eSIM provides data abroad. This is how most travellers use it.

Do I need Wi-Fi to install an eSIM?

Yes, you need an internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) to download and install the eSIM profile. We recommend installing at home before your trip — the eSIM stays dormant until you activate it at your destination.

Can I use eSIM on tablets and smartwatches?

Yes, many iPads (2018+), Samsung Galaxy tablets, and smartwatches (Apple Watch cellular models, Samsung Galaxy Watch) support eSIM. However, Roamaly eSIMs are data-only and work best on phones and tablets.

Is the eSIM compatibility check free?

Yes, completely free. No signup, no email required. Just visit this page and we auto-detect your device, or browse the full list of compatible phones.
