Most smartphones released from 2019 onwards include eSIM support. To use a SaundersRoam eSIM, your device must meet two requirements: it needs to have eSIM hardware, and it must be network-unlocked.
Compatible devices
Apple iPhone: iPhone XS, XR, and all newer models (including iPhone SE 2nd and 3rd generation, and all iPhone 11 through iPhone 17 series).
Samsung Galaxy: Galaxy S20 and newer, Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold series, Galaxy Note 20 and newer, Galaxy A54 and newer.
Google Pixel: Pixel 3a and all newer models.
Other Android: Selected models from Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus, Motorola, and Huawei. Check your manufacturer's website if you are unsure.
How to check if your phone is unlocked
Your phone must be carrier-unlocked to use a third-party eSIM. If you bought your phone outright or your contract has ended, it is likely already unlocked. If you are unsure, try these steps:
On iPhone
- Open Settings.
- Tap General, then About.
- Scroll down to Network Provider Lock. If it says "No SIM restrictions", your phone is unlocked.
On Android
- Insert a SIM card from a different network to the one you normally use.
- If your phone connects and shows signal, it is unlocked.
- If you see a message asking for an unlock code, contact your current network to request an unlock.
Important: Network-locked phones will not accept a SaundersRoam eSIM. Contact your mobile provider to unlock your device before purchasing.
