# Device Compatibility

To use an AdventureSIMs eSIM, your device must be **unlocked** and **eSIM-compatible**. Most phones manufactured since 2018 support eSIM technology, but it's always best to check your specific model.

### Quick Check Methods

Here are three easy ways to check if your device supports eSIM.

1. **Check in Settings (Most Reliable):**
   - **iPhone:** Go to **Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data)**. If you see an option to **"Add eSIM"** or **"Add Cellular Plan"**, your device is compatible.
   - **Android:** Go to **Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs**. If you see a **"+"** icon or an option to **"Add eSIM"** or **"Download a SIM instead?"**, your device is compatible.
2. **Use the Phone Dialer:**
   - Open your phone's dialer and type in `*#06#`. If an **EID** (eSIM Identification Number) is displayed in the results, your device supports eSIM.
3. **Use the AdventureSIMs App:**
   - **Have our app?** For a simple yes/no answer, go to the **My Account** tab, select **Device Tools**, and use our built-in compatibility checker.
