Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

To use a beamSIM eSIM, your phone needs to be eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked.

Phones that support eSIM

  • iPhone XS, XR and newer
  • Google Pixel 3 and newer
  • Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer (and recent Z Fold/Flip)
  • Many recent Huawei, Motorola, Oppo and Xiaomi models (varies by region)

Two things to check

  1. eSIM support — see the list above, or run our compatibility checker.
  2. Carrier-unlocked — if you bought your phone on a contract, it may be locked to one carrier. You can usually ask your carrier to unlock it.

Still unsure? Dial *#06# — if you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM. If you're stuck, email our team from the help center and we'll help within 48 hours.
