Check your phone
Match the model number
Open Settings → General → About. Match the number and original sales region against the manufacturer’s specifications.
Find the eSIM settings
Look for EID in your device information. An IMEI alone does not prove eSIM support. Check Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Service) → Add eSIM.
Confirm carrier unlocking
In Settings → General → About, Carrier Lock should say “No SIM restrictions”. If it does not, contact the original carrier. Your provider still needs to support your device.
