TL;DR
Open your phone’s Mobile/Cellular or SIM settings and look for “Add eSIM”; if it is available, your device supports eSIM. Before travelling, also verify your phone’s serial number and IMEI registration status.

On Android and iPhone, check eSIM support in Cellular, Mobile Network, or SIM settings. If you see “Add eSIM” or “Add Cellular Plan,” you can use an eSIM rather than a physical SIM card.

Before using a local mobile line, check how your phone’s IMEI relates to device registration on the mobile network. This can prevent problems where the SIM is active but the phone does not connect properly.

If you are unsure of your handset version, find its serial number and exact model name in the device settings first. Use those details to confirm whether eSIM is supported on your specific phone version.
