Frequently asked questions
Which Samsung Galaxy phones support eSIM?
Galaxy flagships support eSIM from the S20 (2020) on, along with every Z Flip and Z Fold. Many A models don't, and some versions sold in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan lack it too.
Does my phone need to be unlocked?
Yes. A phone locked to a carrier only takes that carrier's eSIMs. Ask your carrier to unlock it before you travel; it's usually free once your contract is paid off.
Can I use a travel eSIM on my Galaxy?
Yes, if it's on the list above and carrier-unlocked. Your main SIM stays in place for calls and texts while the travel eSIM handles data.
