How can I tell if my iPhone takes an eSIM?

Dial *#06#. A line labelled EID means it does. The iPhone also has to be unlocked.

When is the best time to install?

Before the trip, at home and on Wi-Fi. Once you land, set the Fizztrip line for mobile data and switch on data roaming for it.

An eSIM profile stays on the phone it was installed on and cannot be transferred. Contact support before wiping the old iPhone.

On iOS 17.4 or later, one tap is all an iPhone eSIM takes. You scan nothing and type nothing, and your usual number stays on the phone.

Open the link on the iPhone you are taking and confirm. Older iOS versions use a QR code for the same result.

Let the eSIM carry your data while your SIM keeps handling calls, texts and bank codes.

eSIM works on iPhone XS, XR and every newer model, provided the phone is not locked to a carrier.
