Most iPhones from the XS onward, Galaxy S phones from the S20 onward, the Galaxy Z line, some recent Galaxy A models and Google Pixels from the Pixel 3 onward support eSIM.

Check it in one minute
Dial *#06#: on most devices, if an EID number shows up, the phone supports eSIM. On iPhone, the "EID" line is also listed under Settings > General > About.
It has to be unlocked
A phone locked to a carrier rejects profiles from other providers. If you got yours with a carrier plan or on installments, check with the carrier that sold it before ordering a French Guiana eSIM.
Installing the plan
The option to add an eSIM lives in your phone's network or cellular settings; the provider explains the exact steps after purchase. Do it before you leave, on Wi-Fi, then turn on the line for data when you arrive in French Guiana.
Set up your eSIM in 4 steps
- Make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
- Buy the plan, then scan the QR code you receive (or install through the provider's app), on Wi-Fi.
- When you arrive, turn on the eSIM line for data, and turn on roaming for that line only.
- Keep your main SIM for calls and texts, with data roaming turned off.
Your phone must be eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
