Compatibility FAQ
Why can the same phone family have mixed eSIM support?
Some models vary by region, carrier lock status, or hardware revision, so support can differ even within the same device family.
What does supported with caveats mean?
It means the phone can support eSIM in some conditions, but you may need an unlocked device, a newer OS version, or a region-specific model.
