Which Samsung Galaxy models are compatible?
Galaxy S phones from the S20 onward, the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip, and some recent Galaxy A models support eSIM. Support also depends on the market the phone was sold in: two phones with the same name can differ. Always check the exact model, not just the marketing name.
Check it in one minute
Go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager: if you see an option to add an eSIM, the phone supports it. Dialing *#06# also shows the EID on most compatible models.
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 Venezuela eSIM.
Installing the plan
Go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM, then scan the QR code you received. Do it before you leave, on Wi-Fi, then turn on the line for data when you arrive in Venezuela.
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.
