The eSIM-compatibility depends on whether the manufacturer includes an eSIM in their devices. However, there are some cases when a device doesn’t support eSIM technology, even if it is listed as eSIM-capable. For this reason, we suggest that the best way to confirm if your mobile phone can support the eSIM technology is to get in touch with your device manufacturer, vendor, or primary carrier.
