eSIM on eligible versions

Yes, on eligible versions.

Wi-Fi + Cellular version only; Wi-Fi-only iPads have no eSIM hardware. Mainland China support and plan activation have separate restrictions. Confirm the exact model number and your provider’s support before buying a plan.

Check your tablet

  1. Match the model number

    Open Settings → General → About. Match the number and original sales region against the manufacturer’s specifications.

  2. Find the eSIM settings

    Look for EID in your device information. An IMEI alone does not prove eSIM support. Check Settings → Cellular Data → Add a New Plan (wording varies).

  3. Confirm carrier unlocking

    Ask the original carrier and chosen provider to confirm device restrictions and eligibility for your exact cellular tablet. Your provider still needs to support your device.
