Crucial Exceptions & Market Specifics

1. The Regional Block: iPhones manufactured for Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao generally do not feature eSIM capability and rely entirely on dual physical SIM slots.

2. Carrier Locking: Even if your hardware supports eSIM, a phone purchased via a

payment contract through network carriers (like Vodafone, Verizon, or AT&T) remains

software-locked until paid off. This blocks the installation of secondary travel eSIM profiles.

3. Quick Test: Dialing *#06# on your phone dialer is the fastest way to confirm

compatibility. If an EID barcode or number pops up on the screen, your device houses an eSIM chip. Are you checking compatibility to buy a new phone, or are you planning a trip and trying to find out if your current handset supports an international digital travel data plan?
