Check in Your Device Settings

iPhone : Go to Settings > Cellular.

If the “Add eSIM” option is available, your device supports eSIM activation.

Android / Samsung Galaxy : Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager.

If the “Add eSIM” option appears, the device is eSIM-compatible.

Google Pixel : Go to Settings → Network & internet → SIMs.

If “Add SIM” or “Set up an eSIM” is displayed, the device supports eSIM functionality.

Check via Dial Code
