Is my phone eSIM-ready?

Most recent iPhones, Google Pixels and Samsung Galaxy phones support eSIM. To check yours, dial *#06#: if you see an EID number, your phone can use an eSIM. Your phone also needs to be unlocked. Phones sold in the UK since December 2021 are unlocked by law.

How it works

  1. Choose your plan and pick eSIM at checkout.
  2. We email your eSIM QR code.
  3. On your phone, go to mobile/cellular settings, add an eSIM and scan the code.
  4. That's it. Keeping your number? It moves across on your switch date.

Can I keep my phone number?

Physical SIMs are multi-size, so you can snap out the standard, micro or nano size your phone needs. Or choose an eSIM and skip the post altogether.
