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 eSIM khusus data dan tidak disertakan dengan nomor telepon lokal Korea. Ini adalah titik penting bagi wisatawan, karena banyak restoran, aplikasi (seperti Naver), dan sistem daftar tunggu (seperti CatchTable) memerlukan nomor lokal. eSIM kami memberi Anda data berkecepatan tinggi untuk menggunakan aplikasi seperti WhatsApp, Google Maps, dan KakaoTalk (untuk pengiriman pesan), namun tidak dapat digunakan untuk verifikasi identitas lokal. 

Ya, 100%. Membeli SIM fisik "KT" atau "SKT" di Bandara Incheon tidak mahal namun sering kali menimbulkan antrean panjang, terutama setelah penerbangan besar mendarat. Hal ini juga memerlukan proses pendaftaran paspor wajib. eSIM kami 100% digital, tidak memerlukan registrasi tanda pengenal, dan dapat dipasang sebelum Anda terbang. Anda akan terhubung saat mendarat dan siap menggunakan Kakao Maps atau menelepon Uber/Kakao T. 

Ya, tentu saja. Inilah kegunaan eSIM kami. Google Maps tidak menyediakan petunjuk arah berjalan kaki atau mengemudi di Korea Selatan. Anda harus menggunakan Naver Maps atau Kakao Maps. eSIM kami terhubung ke jaringan lokal premium (seperti SKT atau KT) dan memberikan kecepatan 4G/5G yang sangat cepat, sehingga aplikasi penting ini dapat dimuat secara instan. 

Ya. Korea Selatan memiliki infrastruktur seluler terbaik di dunia. Anda akan mendapatkan sinyal 4G/5G berkecepatan tinggi yang terus-menerus di dalam kereta bawah tanah Seoul/Busan (stasiun dan terowongan) dan di KTX (kereta berkecepatan tinggi) saat kereta tersebut melakukan perjalanan antar kota, sehingga Anda dapat melakukan streaming video atau menjelajah tanpa gangguan. 

 Paket khusus ini hanya berlaku di Korea Selatan. Ini adalah titik kritis. Jika Anda melakukan perjalanan multi-negara Asia dan terbang dari Seoul (ICN) ke Tokyo (NRT), koneksi Anda akan berhenti. Oleh karena itu, kami sangat menyarankan agar eSIM Regional Asia kami tetap terhubung dengan lancar di seluruh negara. 

 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. Karena Uber terbatas, data yang dapat diandalkan sangat penting untuk memesan perjalanan melalui Kakao T, aplikasi taksi utama yang digunakan di Seoul dan Busan. 

Ya. Cakupan sangat baik di seluruh Pulau Jeju, memungkinkan Anda menggunakan aplikasi navigasi untuk mobil sewaan Anda dan berbagi foto dari Gunung Hallasan. 

Sangat. Papago adalah aplikasi terjemahan terbaik untuk Korea Selatan, dan Anda memerlukan data aktif untuk menerjemahkan menu dan tanda secara instan menggunakan fitur kamera. 

Ya. Biasanya Anda akan mendapat sinyal di pusat pengunjung DMZ dan Terowongan Ketiga, meskipun koneksi mungkin dibatasi di dekat garis demarkasi militer sebenarnya.
