Most modern smartphones are compatible with SouthESIM! This includes newer models like the iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and up, and Google Pixel 3a and beyond. The two main things to check are: first, that your phone supports eSIM technology (a quick Google search for your specific model usually confirms this), and second, that it's 'carrier-unlocked.' If you bought your phone directly from a network provider, double-check it's not locked to them. Our website has a handy compatibility checker!
