Does their phone accept an eSIM? The 30-second test
Do the test with them, before you sell. Sirocco keeps no list of models: the test takes 30 seconds and works for every phone.
The test
*#06#As if making a call: the information appears straight away.
An EID number appears: the phone accepts eSIMs. No EID: it does not accept them.
A phone bought with a plan may be reserved for that operator. Your customer asks for it to be unlocked before leaving: the eSIM will not install on a locked phone.
Brand by brand
Settings › Mobile Data: "Add eSIM" should appear. Settings › General › About: "Carrier Lock" should say "No SIM restrictions". Some iPhones sold in mainland China, Hong Kong or Macao do not accept eSIMs.
Settings › Connections › SIM manager: "Add eSIM" should appear.
Settings › Network & internet › SIMs: the option to add an eSIM should appear.
Search for "SIM" in the settings: the path varies by brand. The phone must be up to date.
The line to say
"Let's check right now whether your phone accepts the eSIM. Dial
*#06#as if making a call."
Sirocco does not check the model when the order is placed: the test is done with your customer, before you sell.
