Samsung has integrated eSIM technology into many of its recent devices. If you’re not sure whether your model supports it, here’s how to check quickly — either from your phone settings or by dialing a code. Follow this step-by-step guide to confirm if your Samsung phone has eSIM.
How to check if your Samsung is compatible with eSIM
You can verify your Samsung’s eSIM compatibility in three ways: through Settings, by dialing *#06#, or by checking the official HOLASIM compatibility list.
Check eSIM compatibility from Settings
Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager.
If you see the option Add eSIM or Add mobile plan, your Samsung supports eSIM.
If the option doesn’t appear, your phone doesn’t support eSIM.
Check eSIM compatibility by dialing *#06#
Open the Phone app > Tap Keypad > Dial *#06#.
If an EID code appears, your Samsung is compatible with eSIM.
Check eSIM compatibility on the HOLASIM website
Visit holasim.com > Scroll down to “How does HOLASIM eSIM work?” > Tap “Check compatibility” > Choose “Samsung” under the device brand > Tap “Mobile”.
You’ll see a list of Samsung models currently compatible with eSIM.

Useful tips if your Samsung supports eSIM
If your Samsung is eSIM-compatible and you’ve already purchased one, install it before your trip while connected to a stable Wi-Fi network to avoid setup issues.
What to do if your Samsung doesn’t support eSIM
If you already have a HOLASIM eSIM but your phone doesn’t support it:
-
Use it on another unlocked, eSIM-compatible device.

Save it for your next trip — HOLASIM eSIMs never expire.
-
Gift it to someone with a compatible phone so it doesn’t go to waste.
