How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like eSIMBuy. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a eSIMBuy plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A eSIMBuy travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

Tidak! Ini adalah satu-satunya keuntungan terbesar eSIM kami. Membeli kartu SIM lokal fisik di Brasil (dari TIM, Claro, atau Vivo) terkenal sulit karena memerlukan CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) untuk aktivasi, yang tidak dimiliki wisatawan. eSIM kami adalah paket roaming yang melewati seluruh proses birokrasi. Anda dapat membeli secara online dan terhubung secara instan. 

 Paket khusus ini hanya berlaku di Brasil. Ini adalah titik kritis. Jika Anda mengunjungi Air Terjun Iguazu, koneksi Anda akan berhenti saat Anda menyeberangi jembatan ke sisi Argentina. Untuk perjalanan multi-negara yang lancar, kami sangat merekomendasikan eSIM Regional Amerika Latin kami untuk tetap terhubung di Brasil dan Argentina. 

 Anda harus menetapkan ekspektasi. Anda akan mendapatkan cakupan 4G/5G yang sangat baik di semua kota besar (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador) dan di kota utama Amazon, Manaus. Namun, saat Anda berada di atas perahu di Sungai Amazon atau di penginapan hutan terpencil, Anda harus memperkirakan sinyalnya akan terputus-putus atau sama sekali tidak ada. eSIM ini ditujukan untuk perkotaan, bukan untuk ekspedisi di hutan lebat. 

Anda harus menetapkan ekspektasi. Selama puncak Karnaval (khususnya di Sambadrome atau di bloco yang berpenduduk 1 juta orang), jaringan lokal di Rio berada di bawah tekanan ekstrim. Meskipun eSIM kami menggunakan jaringan lokal terbaik (seperti Vivo/Claro), data akan lebih lambat dari biasanya selama jam sibuk ini. Ini masih lebih dapat diandalkan untuk mengirim pesan WhatsApp dibandingkan Wi-Fi publik yang padat. 

 Untuk memberi Anda jangkauan terbaik di negara yang luas ini, eSIM kami terhubung ke jaringan premium Tingkat 1 Brasil, biasanya Vivo atau Claro. Penyedia ini secara luas dianggap sebagai penyedia terbaik dengan jangkauan 4G terluas, memastikan Anda tetap terhubung dari pantai Copacabana hingga kawasan bisnis São Paulo. 

 Sebagian besar ponsel modern memilikinya, namun Anda harus memeriksa daftar spesifik kami di sini: Perangkat yang Kompatibel dengan eSIM untuk memastikan 100% sebelum membeli. 

Ya. Uber dan 99 adalah cara paling aman untuk bepergian di Rio de Janeiro dan São Paulo, jadi data yang andal sangat penting untuk menghindari taksi jalanan. 

Brasil berada dalam zona roaming berbiaya tinggi bagi sebagian besar operator AS dan UE, jadi menggunakan SIM rumah Anda akan menimbulkan biaya harian yang besar dibandingkan dengan eSIM ini. 

Ya. Karena bahasa Inggris tidak banyak digunakan di luar hotel mewah, memiliki data untuk Google Terjemahan sangat penting untuk berkomunikasi di restoran dan toko lokal.
