How to know if your phone is compatible with eSIM cards using this simple code
eSIM cards are increasingly available from mobile network operators, and you have all sorts of options if you're traveling abroad. The fact is, switching carriers in seconds and without having to remove your SIM card is a value worth considering. But how do I know if my phone is eSIM-compatible?
Today, more and more phones support this technology, allowing us to have a virtual SIM card in our phone and also not to worry if you can't find the damn pin to open the slot to extract the SIM card.
Not to mention, eSIM is your best companion if you travel abroad... and given how easy it is to check your phone's eSIM compatibility, it's a good idea. But first, let's talk about the benefits this service offers.
- What are the advantages of eSIM cards?
The eSIM card is here to make things easier for us. Unlike traditional SIM cards, which require physical insertion into the phone, the eSIM is integrated directly into the phone.
You can't see it, and you can't touch it, but it's there, allowing you to connect to mobile networks simply by scanning a code or downloading a digital profile. If you've ever traveled abroad, you'll be amazed at the convenience of this... simply purchase a compatible local subscription and activate it in minutes, without having to visit a store or handle the inside of the device.
Additionally, you'll be able to switch carriers without having to wait for a new SIM card. Best of all, many phones allow you to use multiple eSIM profiles. What happens if it's stolen? An eSIM card can't be easily removed to prevent tracking or blocking the device, as is the case with a traditional SIM card.
As mentioned earlier, not all carriers offer full support for eSIM, and the activation process can vary greatly depending on the country or carrier. However, if your phone is compatible, you may still want to take this step.
How to know if my phone supports eSIM
Don't worry, checking your phone's eSIM compatibility is very simple. To do so, simply press this code on your phone as if you were making a call: *#06#
If your smartphone supports eSIM, you'll see a line labeled "EID," which means your phone supports eSIM. If it doesn't appear, your phone doesn't support it.
