What is an eSIM?
eSIM also known as embedded SIM is a digital version of a SIM card. It’s a chip fused into a mobile phone, wrist band or tablet device at the point of manufacture to help connect to your network provider. eSIMS cannot be removed from your phone but can be changed by your telecom service company.
How do I check if my phone is eSIM compatible?
To check if your phone is compatible with eSIM, dial *#06# and the barcodes will display EID numbers confirming the device is compatible. If no EID is displayed, this means the device is not eSIM compatible.
