How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like eSIM Scout. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a eSIM Scout plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A eSIM Scout travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

不！这是我们 eSIM 的最大优势。由于新的强制性SIM 卡注册法，在马尼拉 (NAIA) 或宿雾机场购买本地实体 SIM 卡需要复杂而缓慢的注册过程（上传护照、照片和签证）。 eSIM Scout eSIM 是基于漫游的，这意味着您不受此官僚机构的约束。您可以在线购买并立即连接，跳过所有文书工作。 

是的，在主要旅游区。这是跳岛游者最重要的问题。我们的 eSIM 连接到该国最好的网络 (Smart/Globe)，这些网络在爱妮岛、科隆、长滩岛等城镇以及锡亚高的主要地点提供可靠的4G/LTE覆盖。然而，当您在大洋中央的船上（例如，在爱妮岛跳岛之旅中）或在丛林深处时，请注意“死区”。 

 为了让您无论身在何处都能获得最佳信号，我们的 eSIM 会自动连接到最强大的本地提供商，通常是 Smart Communications 或 Globe Telecom。这些是菲律宾的顶级网络，可确保您在所有 82 个省份拥有最快、最可靠的连接。
