Open the Phone app and dial *#06#. If an EID (a 32-digit number) is listed, your phone has an eSIM chip.
- 2
Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs and tap "+" or "Add eSIM". If the option is there, eSIM is enabled.
- 3
Make sure the phone is carrier-unlocked: a phone locked to your carrier will refuse a travel eSIM from another provider.
