Only unlocked phones are compatible with eSIMs. You should make sure that your phone is unlocked before buying an eSIM from the SIMsimply store.
To clear up any doubts, we’ll go into everything in detail below.
What is an “unlocked phone”? #
Mobile phones rely on a carrier to make calls and connect to mobile data.
Carriers allow your phone to connect to their network.
If your phone is unlocked, this means that it can connect to any carrier’s network.
If your phone is locked, this means that, as part of your contract, it can only connect to one specific carrier’s network.
So if you insert a new SIM card or an eSIM, it won’t work in your phone.
