A locked device can restrict access to other networks, leading to additional costs or the inability to use foreign eSIMs. Here\u2019s how to check if your device is unlocked:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings &gt; Connections &gt; SIM Manager<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Look for the <strong>Carrier Lock<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n<li>If your device is unlocked, the message <strong>\u201cNo SIM restrictions\u201d<\/strong> will appear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"compatibilite-telephone\">How to check if your phone is compatible with eSIM technology?<\/h2>\n<p>eSIM compatibility is generally reserved for recent phone models (produced after 2018) that integrate eSIM technology.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">For an iPhone:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings &gt; Connections &gt; SIM Manager<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll to <strong>Available SIM<\/strong> (iOS 15 or later versions).<\/li>\n<li>If the \u00ab\u00a0Add eSIM\u00a0\u00bb option appears, your device is compatible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">For an Android device:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Dial <strong>*#06#<\/strong> and press <strong>Call<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If an EID (eSIM Identifier) number appears, your device is eSIM compatible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also check the official list of eSIM compatible phones on the Vostra website for confirmation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"modifier-forfait\">Can I change my eSIM plan?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-539\" src=\"https:\/\/api.vostra.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/en-savoir-plus-sur-lesim.jpg\" alt=\"Change your eSIM plan on your mobile\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/api.vostra.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/en-savoir-plus-sur-lesim.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/api.vostra.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/en-savoir-plus-sur-lesim-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/api.vostra.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/en-savoir-plus-sur-lesim-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/api.vostra.world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/en-savoir-plus-sur-lesim-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the great strengths of eSIMs lies in their flexibility.
