Two things need to be true: your phone has to have an eSIM, and it has to be unlocked from your carrier. Here’s how to check both.

​
The one-minute check

Go to Settings → General → About. If you see Available SIM, Digital SIM or an EID number, your iPhone has an eSIM. Every iPhone from the XS and XR onwards does, with one exception: iPhones bought in mainland China have no eSIM.

​
Supported phones

  • Apple: iPhone XS, XR and every later model, including SE (2nd generation onwards).
  • Google: Pixel 3a and later.
  • Samsung: Galaxy S20 and later, Note 20 and later, Z Flip and Z Fold, and recent A-series models. Not every A-series phone has an eSIM, so check the one-minute test.
  • Others: recent models from OnePlus, Motorola, OPPO, Xiaomi, Sony and Nothing. Support varies by model and by the country it was sold in.
The full searchable list is at onroamly.com/compatible-devices.

​
It has to be unlocked

A phone locked to a carrier can only use that carrier’s SIMs. Some locked phones refuse to install a Roamly eSIM; others install it and then never connect. If your phone came on a plan, ask your carrier whether it’s unlocked. In Australia, carriers unlock phones for free once the plan’s conditions are met. Phones bought outright from Apple, Google, Samsung or a retailer are unlocked.
