Two quick checks: your phone needs to support eSIM, and it needs to be unlocked.
An eSIM is a SIM built into your phone. Most phones from the last few years have one.
A locked phone only works with the carrier that sold it, so it can't add a travel eSIM.
The EID check above is the surest test. This list covers the most common phones.
iPhone XR, XS and XS Max, and every iPhone since: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 series, iPhone 16e, and iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation).
Galaxy S20 and later, every Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip, Galaxy Note20, and some recent A-series phones, such as the A35, A55 and A56.
Pixel 4 and later, including the a-series (Pixel 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a, 8a and 9a), Pro and Fold models.
Many recent Oppo, Xiaomi, Motorola, Sony and Huawei phones support eSIM, but not every model or every country's version does. Use the EID check.
Most iPads with mobile data (the Wi-Fi + Cellular models) from 2019 onwards support eSIM, and Tetherd works on them too.
iPhones bought in mainland China, and most bought in Hong Kong or Macau, don't support eSIM. Some phones made for other countries leave it out. The EID check tells you for sure.
It might. Try the EID check at the top of this page. If an EID shows and your phone is unlocked, Tetherd will work.
Yes. Your phone keeps both: your own SIM for calls and texts, and Tetherd for data. You choose which line uses mobile data in Settings.
Most phones can store several eSIMs, and use one or two at a time. You can keep Tetherd installed alongside your own SIM and other eSIMs.
It might be. Ask the carrier that sold it. Most will unlock a phone once it's paid off, sometimes straight away.
If you haven't installed the eSIM, we'll refund it in full. See the refund policy.
Tetherd opens soon. Leave your email and we'll send you one message when you can buy.
