# Before You Buy: Is Your Phone eSIM Ready?

To use a WonderConnect eSIM, your device must meet two main requirements: it must be technically compatible and carrier-unlocked.

## **1\. Check Our Compatibility List**

The fastest way to know if your device works with eSIMs is to search for your model on our official list.

## **2\. Verify Your Phone is "Carrier Unlocked"**

Even if your phone is on our list, it must be unlocked to connect to local networks abroad.

-   **iOS:** Go to **Settings > General > About**. Look for **Network Provider Lock**. It must say **"No SIM restrictions."**  
    
-   **Samsung:** Go to **Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Operators**. Turn off "Select automatically". If a list of multiple carriers appears, the phone is likely unlocked.  
    
-   **Google Pixel:** Go to **Settings** **\> Network & Internet > Tap SIMs > Tap your SIM card**. Turn off “Automatically select network”. If a list of networks appears, your phone is likely unlocked.  
    

> **Warning:** If your phone is locked to a specific provider (like AT&T or T-Mobile), you must contact them to unlock it before installing an eSIM.

## 3\. Still Unsure? Dial \*#06# for EID Check

If you can't find your phone on our list, you can check for the eSIM hardware manually:

1.  Open your phone’s dialer and type **\*#06#**
    
2.  Look for a number labeled **EID**.
    
3.  **If you see an EID number:** Your phone has the hardware to support eSIM.
    
4.  **If no EID appears:** Your device is not eSIM compatible.
    

## **Important Considerations**

Even if your device is technically compatible and unlocked, a few external factors can block eSIM installation:

-   **Corporate/Work Phones:** Employers often use security profiles that block the "Add eSIM" feature. If you are using a work phone and don't see the option to add an eSIM, please check with your IT department.  
    
-   **Unauthorized Repairs:** If your phone was repaired with non-original parts at a non-authorized service center, eSIM functionality may be permanently disabled.  
    
-   **Regional Models:** iPhones from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao often lack eSIM support. Similarly, some Google Pixels bought in Australia, Japan, or Taiwan may have the feature disabled.
    

> **Info:** **Quick Tip:** If your phone is compatible and unlocked but you still can't see the "Add eSIM" menu, try switching your phone's **Region** in Settings and restarting. In some cases, the “Add eSIM” option appears after the Region change.
