What is eSIM & How to Know If Your Device’s Compatible

If you're planning to travel abroad in 2025, understanding eSIM technology is essential. What is eSIM? An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital version of the traditional SIM card, integrated directly into your device. This innovation allows you to activate a mobile plan without the need for a physical card, offering flexibility and convenience.

For travelers, eSIMs can be a game-changer. They enable you to switch between local carriers easily, at more affordable rates than traditional roaming charges. This means you can stay connected for navigation, communication, and sharing your experiences without incurring hefty fees.

To enjoy seamless connectivity, double-check that your phone supports eSIM; most newer models do. Is my device eSIM compatible? Using eSIM compatible phones ensures you can take full advantage of this technology's benefits and avoid unexpected charges during your international adventures.

You’ll also need your phone to be unlocked, which means it can accept mobile plans from different providers. If you purchased your phone through a mobile carrier, unlocking is quick and straightforward; you need to contact your mobile carrier.

As the adoption of eSIM continues to grow, more manufacturers release eSIM-compatible phones, making global travel more accessible and connected than ever.

Apple Devices That Support eSIM

Apple has led the way in using eSIM technology, with many of its eSIM compatible phones now supporting it. Starting with the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, Apple added eSIM features, letting users use two SIMs at once, one physical and one digital. This means you can keep your home number and still get a local data plan when traveling, as long as you know how to activate eSIM on your device.

In the U.S., iPhone 14 models and newer have taken this further by removing the physical SIM slot entirely. This move shows Apple’s strong support for eSIM and gives travelers more freedom.

Samsung Phones with eSIM Support

Samsung has expanded eSIM support to a wide range of eSIM compatible phones. This includes flagship lines like the Galaxy S20, S21, S22, and S23 series, as well as the Note20 and several Galaxy Z Fold and Flip models. Recently, eSIM functionality was also added to select mid-range phones, such as the Galaxy A54 5G and A56 5G.

Before using an eSIM, make sure your Samsung device is both unlocked and compatible. Once confirmed, you can buy eSIM for your device from your favorite provider. This allows you to connect to local networks while traveling,without needing a physical SIM card.

Using an eSIM saves time, helps avoid high roaming charges, and lets you manage multiple data plans on a single device. It's a smart and convenient option for travelers and anyone switching between carriers or regions.

How to Check If Your Phone Supports eSIM In Under a Minute

Is my device eSIM compatible? Before purchasing an eSIM plan, it’s important to confirm that it is. Here’s how to check quickly and easily.

Option 1: Dial a Code
On your phone, dial *#06#. If you see an EID number listed, your device supports eSIM.

Option 2: Check Your Settings
Navigate to Settings > About Phone (or General > About on iPhones). Look for any mention of eSIM or EID. If you don’t see these, it’s likely your device doesn’t support eSIM.

Option 3: Confirm with Your Carrier
Visit your mobile carrier’s website and search for their eSIM compatibility page. Most major U.S. providers like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile maintain current lists of supported devices.

Smart Travel Tip: Some phones support eSIM only if purchased directly from a carrier, not unlocked or third-party models.

Taking a few moments to verify compatibility before your trip can save time, money, and hassle, especially when you’re trying to get connected on arrival.

Why eSIM is the Future for Travelers

If you travel often, you’ve probably dealt with the hassle of swapping SIM cards or downloading a new eSIM every time you visit a different country. Managing all those profiles quickly becomes a headache, your phone runs out of space, and figuring out which one to activate isn’t always obvious.

eSIM is changing the game for travelers. It lets you connect instantly without searching for local SIM cards or waiting in line at airports. You buy your plan, activate it, and you’re online the moment you land.

But here’s something most travelers don’t realize, not all eSIMs work the same. Most providers are resellers, so every time you buy a plan for a different country, you also download a separate eSIM. Some require you to manually set things like the APN before it works.

GigSky takes a different approach. You install one eSIM, and it works across all the destinations you travel to. No manual setup, no switching between networks, it connects automatically wherever you are.

Teodoro Lima

Easy to use, worked well for me while staying for one week in the Bahamas. Took the free 100mb to confirm if it worked on my mobile and the 7day 1 Gb thereafter. Much cheaper and easier than buying a Sim card.

Mariana Sola

It was a great service and easy to use and install. I would use it again.

Have used GigSky with several devices in the Dominican Rep. and it has worked great each time.

Bluepeak

Installation is easy with the provided instructions. Once you have set up the eSIM, you don't have to reinstall it when you buy future packages. Just make sure to not delete the GigSky eSIM, or you have to ask them to re-enable it. For me the big difference with other eSIMs is that GigSky will use any available provider. Other companies have a contract with only one provider, often one of the cheaper ones that may not provide coverage in rural areas. So far, GigSky worked very well in rural Bolivia and Argentinian Patagonia. One day, two providers went down in Ushuaia, but GigSky didn't miss a beat, as they just switched to the last working provider. Highly recommended if you travel to off the beaten path areas!

Mr Maarco

I've tried other E-Sims and they just don't compete. I always get great strong/fast service. They price is already affordable AND on top of that they promotions and coupons AND every time you purchase data, you receive credit towards your next purchase (further lowering cost). Thank you Gigsky for making my travels so smooth!

Kath

I have used GigSky for a number of international trips including India, Vietnam and Europe. While other travellers had trouble with reliability of their eSim company, I did not experience any issues with GigSky. The "Europe" package allowed seamless access between countries. Tip is to turn off roaming for apps that you don't access while travelling to ensure data isn't used unnecessarily. Easy to install.

Vanessa

Purchased to use in Bali. I had previously purchased with another esim provider which failed to work. Not one problem with GigSky.

Claudia Dengler

Used Gig Sky on a recent trip to Cuba and it worked well.

Easy set up. Instructions were easy to follow. Worked flawlessly for 60 days in Dominican Republic

Kelly

Excellent service while cruising across the Atlantic. And excellent customer service before my trip!! I would highly recommend GigSky!!

Cavan Gallagher

I was having trouble with Airalo so opted for Gigsky as an alternative. The eSIM was simple to set up (though I would consider myself reasonably tech-savvy; may be harder for people of an older generation) and worked great for a few days. After 3 days or so my connection just dropped out and despite lots of tech support articles online, I was unable to fix the issue myself so reached out to the support team at Gigsky. They replied nearly immediately via email and within a couple of hours they had it working again. If I need an eSIM in future I will be sticking to Gigsky.

Eric Lovinger

GigSky was easy to use and we went to several countries and was very helpful providing internet access wherever we went. I will use it again on my next visit to Europe.
