Find your phone’s EID

Look for the label EID

An EID identifies the embedded SIM in a device. Finding one is useful evidence that the phone has eSIM hardware. It does not tell you whether the phone is carrier locked, whether a particular plan will activate, or which networks it can use.

On many phones, opening the Phone app and entering *#06# brings up device identifiers. Look for an entry labeled EID. If the code does nothing or only shows an IMEI, use Settings before drawing a conclusion. Tablets may not have a dialer.

Find it in Settings

Menu names vary with the language and software version. These are the paths documented by Apple and Google.

1. iPhone or iPad: open Settings → General → About, then scroll to EID.
2. Google Pixel: open Settings → About phone → SIM status, then look for EID.
3. Other Android phones: search Settings for EID. If it is missing, check the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact model number and market.

What is IMEI2?

IMEI2 is the second equipment identifier a dual-SIM phone can use. A carrier may ask for it during activation. Seeing two IMEIs alone does not establish eSIM support. Read the label next to each number.

IMEI / IMEI2

Identify the phone for mobile networks. On a dual-SIM phone, the carrier can confirm which IMEI goes with which line.

EID

Identifies the embedded SIM hardware. Look for this label when checking whether the device has an eSIM.

ICCID

Identifies a physical SIM card or an eSIM profile. An ICCID can also appear on a phone that uses only physical SIMs.

Keep the number on your phone

You do not need to enter an EID or IMEI into this website. Search the checker by model name or public model number. Your browser cannot read the eSIM hardware.

Before buying a travel eSIM, also confirm an Add eSIM or equivalent option and check that the original carrier has unlocked your phone. If the evidence conflicts, ask the manufacturer or carrier to check your exact device.
