If your model isn’t here, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have one: check on your phone.

How to check on your phone

Dial *#06# on the phone keypad. If a number called EID appears on screen, your phone has eSIM.

It also has to be unlocked. A phone bought on a contract may be locked to other carriers: if that’s your case, ask for it to be unlocked before you travel.

How to install it

  1. Open the purchase email on another screen, with the QR code in view.
  2. On the Galaxy, go to Settings → Connections → SIM manager and tap Add eSIM.
  3. Choose Scan QR code from service provider and point at the QR code.

The full steps, with the usual errors, are in the installation guide for Samsung Galaxy.

Frequently asked questions

Does my Galaxy have eSIM?

The S23 and later, and the foldables from the Fold4 and Flip4, yes, according to our indicative list. For others it depends on the country of sale: dial *#06# and look for the EID.

Can I have my SIM and the eSIM at the same time?

Yes. Your usual line stays on the phone and the travel eSIM is a second line, for data only.

Does it have to be unlocked?

Yes. A phone locked to one carrier won’t accept another carrier’s eSIM: ask for it to be unlocked before you travel.
