An eSIM is a digital SIM that lets you activate a cellular plan without needing a physical SIM card. Before getting started, you’ll need to make sure your device supports eSIM technology and is unlocked.

Firsty works on nearly all eSIM-compatible phones, giving you the freedom to connect without a physical SIM card.

Does Your Device Support eSIM?

To use a Firsty eSIM, your device must:

– Support eSIM technology
– Be carrier unlocked (not restricted to one network)
– Not be jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android)

If your device is carrier-locked, you may need to contact your mobile provider to unlock it before installing a Firsty eSIM.

HOW TO CHECK?

Android

1: Check for EID (other devices)

Open your Phone app
Dial *#06#
Look for a 32-digit EID number (If your device shows an EID, it means it has eSIM capability and can be used with digital SIM services.)

2: Samsung Devices

Go to Settings → Connections → SIM Manager
If Add eSIM is available, your device likely supports eSIM

3: Google Pixel Devices

Go to Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs
Tap the + and look for Download a SIM instead?

Apple

Go to Settings → Cellular → Add Cellular Plan.
- If you see the option to Add eSIM, it means your device supports eSIM.
Open Settings → General → About.
- Look for a field labeled EID - this confirms your device has eSIM hardware.
- Check the Carrier Lock status:
  - “No SIM restrictions” = unlocked
  - Any other status = may be locked

If you’re unsure, verify your device model with Apple or your original carrier to confirm eSIM compatibility.
