Andalu Blog | Check Your eSIM Compatibility

What Is an eSIM and EID?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) allows you to stay connected without needing a physical SIM card. The key to confirming if your device supports eSIM lies in the EID (Embedded Identity Document), which is a unique identifier tied to the eSIM chip in your phone. If your phone has an EID, it's eSIM-compatible.

How to Check Your Device for eSIM Compatibility

There are two primary ways to confirm if your phone supports eSIM:

1. Use the Dial Pad (iPhone Only)

  • Open the Phone app on your iPhone.
  • Dial *#06#.
  • Look for the EID on the resulting screen. If it’s present, your device supports eSIM!

Pro Tip: This method works for iPhones and iPads only.

2. Use the Settings Menu (iPhone & Android)

  • For iPhones: Go to Settings > General > About. Scroll to find the EID listed in your device info.
  • For Android: Navigate to Settings > About Phone. Look under the “Device Details” section for the EID. You may need to tap a prompt like “Show Info” to view it.
