How to Check If Your iPhone/iPad Is Unlocked for eSIM

How do I know if my iPhone or iPad is unlocked for eSIM?

An unlocked iPhone/iPad allows you to use eSIM profiles from any provider like eSIMania. Here's how to check your device status:

  1. Open Settings β†’ General β†’ About
  2. Look for Carrier Lock or Network Provider Lock
  3. Check the status:
    • No SIM restrictions = Unlocked
    • SIM locked = Restricted to original carrier

If your device is locked:

Contact your original carrier and request unlocking using your IMEI (find it in Settings β†’ General β†’ About or dial *#06#). Most carriers unlock devices automatically within 24-72 hours.

πŸ’‘ eSIM Compatibility Note: Some devices may have eSIM hardware but lack software support in certain regions. Verify compatibility in our eSIM Compatibility Guide.
