Search for your phone model, or let us check this phone automatically if you’re reading this on it. The result tells you whether the model takes an eSIM and whether that depends on the country it was bought in.
Your phone also needs to be unlocked for other networks. If it came from a carrier on a contract, ask them to confirm it’s unlocked.
If your phone doesn’t take an eSIM, you can still buy a plan for another phone that does, or for someone travelling with you.
