eSIM compatibility

Does the iPhone SE support eSIM?

Yes. Every iPhone SE model is eSIM-compatible, so you can install a Pelesim travel eSIM without swapping your physical SIM card.

Every iPhone SE model works with eSIM

  • Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen
  • Apple iPhone SE 3rd Gen
  • Your phone must be carrier-unlocked to install a travel eSIM.
  • iPhones purchased in mainland China do not support eSIM, and only select models from Hong Kong and Macao are eSIM-compatible. If your iPhone was bought in these regions, verify support before purchasing.

Verify eSIM support on your iPhone SE in 30 seconds

  1. 1

    Dial *#06# from the phone app

    If your iPhone SE shows an EID number alongside the IMEI, it has eSIM hardware.

  2. 2

    Check Settings

    Open Settings, then Cellular (or Mobile Service). If you see "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan", your iPhone supports eSIM.

  3. 3

    Confirm your phone is unlocked

    In Settings, open General, then About, and look for "No SIM restrictions" under Carrier Lock.

Ready to set up an eSIM on your iPhone SE?

Installation takes a few minutes with an internet connection, and your plan only starts when you connect at your destination - so install before you fly.
