How to check if your Galaxy Z Flip has eSIM
1. Look for Add eSIM in SIM manager
- Open Settings and tap Connections.
- Tap SIM manager.
- If you see Add eSIM, your Flip supports eSIM.
That's the path Samsung gives (Samsung: Galaxy eSIM and supported network carriers). Menu names can differ a little with your software version.
2. Look for the EID
Samsung says you can find your phone's EID under Settings > About phone > Status information (Samsung Hong Kong: Galaxy eSIM). If your phone shows an EID, it has an eSIM chip. More about what an EID number is and other ways to check eSIM compatibility.
3. Check that your phone isn't carrier-locked
If you bought your Flip on a contract, your carrier may have locked it. Ask them, or read how to unlock your phone.
How to add an eSIM on the Galaxy Z Flip
Samsung gives these steps for a QR code (Samsung: Galaxy eSIM and supported network carriers):
- Connect to Wi-Fi.
- Go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager.
- Tap Add eSIM, then Scan QR code.
- Scan the QR code from your carrier or eSIM provider. Your eSIM downloads and activates on your Galaxy.
Keep the QR code until the eSIM works. Stuck? See our eSIM install guide or what to do when your eSIM won't activate.
Using a travel eSIM on your Galaxy Z Flip
A travel eSIM gives your Flip mobile data abroad without swapping SIM cards. Your home SIM can stay in its slot for calls and texts while the eSIM handles data. Here's how to set up and manage two lines, and how to prepare your phone for international travel.
