Roamight Travel Prepaid eSIM compatibility basics for US travelers
Start by confirming a few quick checks so your Roamight Travel Prepaid eSIM works the moment you land.
What it is: Think of esim technology as a digital profile embedded in your phone. You download a profile and it acts like a sim. This differs from a removable physical sim card that you insert into a tray.
The main travel setup is simple. Keep your home sim active for calls and texts, then use Roamight for travel data. Whether you can run both at once depends on your phone’s dual-sim features.
What you must verify
- Your device supports eSIM profiles.
- Your carrier has unlocked the phone (network lock removed).
- The phone is not jailbroken (iOS) or rooted (Android).
In the US, phones bought on plans sometimes block adding eSIM profiles. Unlocked means the network lock is removed — it is not the same as being paid off. Call your carrier to confirm before travel.
| Type | How it works | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital profile | Downloaded to phone | Fast data access | Skip airport kiosks |
| Physical SIM | Inserted in tray | Traditional use | Requires swapping |
| Dual SIM setup | One home sim + Roamight | Calls + travel data | Depends on phone model |
Checking these items takes about a minute if you know where to look. Next, we’ll show quick tests to confirm eSIM support on your phone.
How to check if your device supports eSIM before you buy
Quick checks save time at the airport. Before ordering a Roamight Travel Prepaid eSIM, run a few fast tests on the phone you plan to use. These confirm your handset can accept a downloadable profile and avoid surprises on arrival.
Quick test: dial *#06# and look for the EID number
Open the Phone app and dial *#06#. If a 32‑digit EID appears, that is a strong signal the device supports eSIM and can store a travel profile.
The EID stands for Embedded Identity Document. It proves the phone has the secure element needed to download a Roamight Travel Prepaid eSIM profile.
Where to find eSIM settings on iPhone and Android
On iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) and look for an "Add eSIM" option.
On Android, check Settings > Connections or Network & Internet > SIM manager for an option to add a mobile profile.
Why some models have eSIM and non-eSIM variants
Nearly identical model names can hide different hardware or firmware sold by region or carrier. Some markets ship units without the embedded profile feature due to local rules or carrier requests.
- Buying used? Ask the seller for a screenshot of the EID and the eSIM menu, not just the model name.
- Check both the model number and purchase region before you buy.
Do these checks before purchasing Roamight Travel Prepaid eSIM. A quick dial and a glance in settings can keep activation smooth when you land.
eSIM compatibility with devices: important US and regional model notes
A phone's country of sale can silently block adding a travel profile—even if the hardware supports it.
Carrier-unlocked requirements in the United States
In the US, carrier-locked phones can prevent adding a travel profile even when the handset has the proper hardware. Locked units from AT&T, Verizon, or T‑Mobile may block downloads until the lock period ends or payoff terms are met.
Factory-unlocked phones are the safest option for using a Roamight Travel Prepaid profile on arrival.
China, Hong Kong, and Macao exceptions to note
iPhones sold in Mainland China usually lack the embedded profile feature. Models from Hong Kong and Macao often skip it too, except a few (like iPhone 13 mini, 12 mini, SE 2020, XS).
- Many samsung galaxy phones from China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan may not expose the eSIM menu because of firmware or CSC locks.
- All google pixel models sold in Hong Kong are commonly incompatible, so buyers there should verify the EID before purchase.
Quick decision rule: If you bought your phone outside the US, confirm region/model/CSC and check the EID before buying a plan. These limits are device-side, not specific to Roamight, but they directly affect whether installation will work.
Apple eSIM compatible devices for Roamight users
Quick check: know which Apple models will accept a Roamight Travel Prepaid profile before you land.
- iPhone XR / XS / XS Max and iPhone 11 series
- iPhone SE (2020, 2022)
- iPhone 12 series (including iphone mini)
- iPhone 13 series (including iphone mini) and newer — note two active profiles
- iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series (US models are eSIM-only; no physical sim card tray)
Two active profiles on newer iPhones
Starting with the iPhone 13, some models can run two active eSIM profiles at once. That means you can keep your home line live while using Roamight for travel data. Set one profile for calls and the other for travel data and toggle priorities in Settings.
iPad and Apple Watch notes
Only Wi‑Fi + Cellular iPad models support profiles. That rules out Wi‑Fi‑only tablets such as some ipad pro and ipad mini models that lack a modem.
Apple Watch Cellular models (Series 3, 4, 5, 6, SE) can accept a travel profile, but carrier pairing rules often apply. Also, devices bought in Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macao may not expose profile options, so always check the EID before purchase.
Samsung Galaxy eSIM compatible devices
From the Galaxy S20 onward, Samsung expanded support for downloadable mobile profiles across flagships.
Galaxy S series
Key families: Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21 and the newer Galaxy S25 lines are commonly profile-ready. International variants of the S20 Ultra and S21 Ultra often include support, but US or carrier-locked versions can differ. Verify the EID and the SIM manager menu before purchase.
Note and foldables
The Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra accept downloadable profiles in many regions. Foldables such as Z Fold and Z Flip models across generations usually offer the same feature. Check your model settings to confirm.
Galaxy A, FE and region notes
A-series models may or may not expose the profile menu depending on country and carrier. FE editions are model-specific; some FE units support it and others do not.
| Family | Common support | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S (S20 / S21 / S25) | High (varies by carrier) | SIM manager / EID |
| Galaxy Note (Note 20) | Moderate to high | Model / region |
| Z Fold / Z Flip | High | Software/CSC region |
Traveler tip: If your Samsung is carrier-locked in the US, a Roamight Travel Prepaid profile may fail to add until you get an unlock. Always confirm the EID and the add-profile menu before buying.
Google Pixel eSIM compatible devices
Pixel owners often find activation easy, but a few regional model limits can trip you up.
Quick summary: Most google pixel generations support a downloadable profile, making them a top choice for roaming data. Models from Pixel 3 onward are commonly ready for a Roamight Travel Prepaid eSIM, though a few regional exceptions exist.
Pixel generations that commonly work
Supported lines include Pixel 3/3a, 4/4a, 5/5a, 6/6a, 6 Pro, 7/7 Pro and newer. These models usually show an EID and an "Add eSIM" flow in settings. Check your EID before buying.
Fold and Pro model notes
Pixel Pro variants normally offer profile support and may allow dual active profiles on newer Android builds. Pixel Fold owners should confirm the EID and run an "Add eSIM" test before travel.
Regional and carrier limitations
Some Pixel 3/3a units sold in Australia, Japan, or Taiwan had carrier locks that block profile installs. Importantly, google pixel phones sold in hong kong are commonly incompatible, so verify in-store.
- Verify the phone is unlocked.
- Confirm the EID and "Add eSIM" option in settings.
- Then buy and install the Roamight Travel Prepaid eSIM confidently.
Motorola eSIM compatible devices
Travelers using Motorola phones have solid options, but region and carrier limits matter.
Razr foldables that support a travel profile
motorola razr foldables (2019, 5G and newer) are often ready for a travel mobile profile. Foldables commonly include embedded profiles for flexibility and dual‑SIM setups.
Edge series: Edge, Edge Pro, Edge Fusion/Neo
The motorola edge family spans many sub-lines. Edge, Edge Pro, and Edge Fusion/Neo variants may support a downloadable profile, but availability varies by market and carrier.
Moto G series and budget choices
Some Moto G units offer profile support, yet the feature is inconsistent across models and regions. Budget buyers should verify before purchase.
| Family | Common support | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Razr | High | EID & "Add eSIM" menu |
| Edge / Edge Pro | Moderate | Model/region firmware |
| Moto G | Variable | Seller screenshot of EID |
On Motorola Android, "supports esim" looks like an EID entry and an "Add eSIM" option in SIM settings. Choose a factory‑unlocked handset when possible to avoid US carrier locks.
Before you fly: Install your Roamight Travel Prepaid profile over reliable Wi‑Fi, keep your physical SIM active for home calls if needed, and activate when you land if required by your plan.
eSIM compatible devices from other major Android brands
Across several Android makers, eSIM support appears mainly in higher‑end models and select regional builds.
Huawei: what usually works and what doesn’t
Works: P40, P40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro often show an EID and add-profile menus.
Often does not: P40 Pro+ and many China-sold units may lack a usable profile. If the device shows no EID, assume it won't install a Roamight Travel Prepaid profile.
Oppo: Find and Reno lines
Find X3/Find X3 Pro, Find X5/Find X5 Pro, and Reno 5A are commonly ready to install a travel profile.
Note: OPPO "Lite" lines usually do not support this feature even when names look similar.
Sony Xperia notes
Models like the Xperia 10 III Lite, 10 IV, 1 IV, and 5 IV often include profile support, but availability varies by market. Always check the sony xperia variant and EID before buying.
Xiaomi, Redmi Note Pro+ and Poco
High-tier models (12T Pro, 13/13 Pro, 14/14 Pro) and select redmi note Pro+ or Poco releases may support a profile. Region and carrier policy determine final support.
Honor, Vivo and OnePlus
Honor and Vivo offer eSIM on select models, though this is highly region-dependent. OnePlus phones such as OnePlus 11, 12, 13 and the Open often include support, but confirm the exact device variant before purchase.
"If you can’t find EID or Add eSIM in settings, don’t assume it will work—confirm before purchase."
| Brand | Common support | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Huawei | P40 / Mate 40 Pro | EID & region |
| Oppo | Find / Reno | Model name (not Lite) |
| Xiaomi / Poco | High-end & Pro | Carrier & region |
Other eSIM-compatible devices you can use with Roamight
Roamight Travel Prepaid profiles do more than free your phone—they can power tablets, laptops, and some watches too.
Tablets beyond iPad
Only cellular model tablets can install a travel profile. Wi‑Fi only units have no modem and cannot use Roamight service.
Check the settings for an EID or an "Add eSIM" option the same way you would on a phone. That confirms the device can store a profile.
Windows laptops and WWAN
WWAN means a built‑in LTE/5G modem. The same laptop model can ship either way, so look for "LTE/5G," "WWAN," or "Mobile Broadband" in specs.
Common WWAN-capable lines include Surface, Dell Latitude, HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, and Lenovo ThinkPad when sold with the modem option. Confirm Windows version and drivers before travel.
Smartwatches and carrier rules
Many watches support a profile, but activation often follows a carrier workflow. Ask whether Roamight service can be installed directly or if the watch must mirror a phone plan.
"Plan your gear based on how you travel—phone only for simplicity or multi‑device for work trips."
Quick tip: Verify the EID and carrier rules before purchase so you can use eSIM profiles smoothly on the go.
Common compatibility issues and quick fixes
Fast checks and simple fixes get you back online before your flight lands.
Carrier lock blocks most activations. If your Roamight Travel Prepaid profile won’t install, the phone often refuses new mobile profiles when it is tied to a carrier. Symptoms include a missing "Add eSIM" option or an error during installation.
Quick fixes: confirm unlock status with your US carrier and request an official unlock if eligible. After the carrier confirms, reboot the handset and try adding the profile again over stable Wi‑Fi.
Region firmware and Samsung Galaxy (CSC) notes
Samsung galaxy models can behave differently by firmware/CSC. Two phones with the same model name may expose the add-profile menu on one unit and not the other.
Fix approach: check the EID via *#06#, capture the SIM manager screen, and if missing, ask the seller or carrier about the CSC region. In some cases, a regional software update or a local Samsung service center can clarify limitations.
When model names match but profiles are absent
Marketing names hide variants. A matching model doesn’t guarantee the phone supports a travel profile.
- Dial *#06# and find the EID.
- Open SIM or Network settings and confirm the add-profile menu exists.
- Ensure the phone is unlocked and not rooted or jailbroken.
- Retry activation on stable Wi‑Fi.
| Issue | Symptom | Quick action |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier lock | No add-profile option or install error | Request unlock from carrier, reboot, retry |
| Region/CSC firmware | Model shows no eSIM menu | Check EID, ask seller about region, consider software update |
| Model variant mismatch | Marketing name matches but no EID | Verify EID via *#06#, get screenshots for support |
Document for support: save screenshots of the EID, model number, purchase country, and the SIM manager screen. Most issues are identifiable quickly, so you can fix them before travel and avoid mid‑trip delays.
Conclusion
A quick device review at home prevents surprise errors when you try to add a travel profile.
, Confirm three checks: an EID or add-profile menu, an unlocked carrier status, and no root or jailbreak. These steps make using Roamight Travel Prepaid eSIM predictable and fast.
Remember that regional model differences (China/Hong Kong/Macao and some Samsung or Pixel models) can block installs. The guide’s list speeds your decision, but always verify the exact model and sale region before buying or accepting a used phone.
When those three checks are done, you’re ready to install the profile and travel without swapping a physical sim card. Choose mainstream phones (newer iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel) to reduce surprises and enjoy reliable travel data abroad.
FAQ
What is eSIM and how does it differ from a physical SIM card?
An embedded SIM is a digital SIM built into your phone or tablet. Unlike a removable plastic SIM card, it lets you install a mobile plan remotely through a QR code or activation link. That means no tray to swap and easier switching between carriers or plans while traveling.
What do I need before installing a Roamight Travel Prepaid plan?
Make sure your handset supports embedded profiles, is unlocked for use on other networks, and runs the official firmware (no root or jailbreak). Also confirm the device shows an EID number in system info and that your carrier allows adding a secondary plan.
How can I check support on a phone before I buy?
Dial *#06# and look for an EID number — its presence usually indicates embedded profile capability. Then check Settings for an option to add a mobile plan or cellular plan to confirm full support.
Where do I find embedded profile settings on iPhone and Android?
On iPhone go to Settings > Cellular or Mobile Data > Add Cellular Plan. On Android it’s typically Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs or Mobile Network > Add carrier. Exact menus vary by manufacturer and OS version.
Why do some models have embedded profiles while others don’t?
Manufacturers often release regional variants. A model sold in one market may include the feature, while the same model sold elsewhere may omit it due to local carrier rules, regulatory differences, or specific firmware builds.
Do I need an unlocked phone in the United States?
Yes. Carrier-locked phones may block adding or activating a secondary mobile plan from another provider. Verify the phone is unlocked before purchasing a Roamight plan to avoid activation issues.
Are there exceptions for phones bought in China, Hong Kong, or Macao?
Yes. Many handsets sold in those regions have restrictions or firmware that disables embedded profiles. Always check the regional model code and seller notes; phones from these markets often require special attention.
Are there specific Samsung Galaxy regional restrictions to watch for?
Samsung sells country-specific builds. Models intended for China or some carrier-branded variants can lack the feature. Check the model number (e.g., SM‑G9xxx) and the CSC/region code before buying.
What about Google Pixel region limits?
Pixel phones generally support embedded profiles, but some units bought through specific carriers or in certain regions may have limited functions. Verify the purchase region and carrier unlock status for full functionality.
Which iPhone models support embedded profiles?
Recent iPhones from the iPhone XR/XS era onward include support. Newer models allow multiple active profiles and improved switching. Check Apple’s spec page for exact model-year details before you buy.
What does “two active eSIMs” on newer iPhones mean?
Some iPhones permit two active embedded profiles at once, letting you use two numbers simultaneously without a physical card. This lets you keep a home plan and a travel plan active together for calls and data.
Are there U.S. iPhones sold as eSIM-only that lack a physical SIM tray?
Certain U.S. models have eliminated the physical tray and rely on embedded profiles. If you need a physical backup, confirm the exact model before purchase; retailers list whether a tray is included.
Which iPad and Apple Watch models support embedded profiles?
Cellular iPad models (Wi‑Fi + Cellular) and cellular Apple Watch Series with LTE support embedded profiles. Check model specs for “Cellular” or “GPS + Cellular” to confirm support.
Which Samsung Galaxy S and Note series work for Roamight users?
Many Galaxy S20, S21, S22, S23, S24, S25 and Note 20 series models support embedded profiles, though availability depends on region and carrier. Always check the exact model number and region code before buying.
Do Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip phones support embedded profiles?
Yes, recent Z Fold and Z Flip generations include support in most markets. Some country-specific units may differ, so verify the model and firmware prior to purchase.
Are there Galaxy A series models that support embedded profiles?
Some A series phones offer support, but it varies by model and market. Check the manufacturer specs for the exact model number and carrier notes for availability.
What Pixel phones support embedded profiles?
Most Pixel generations, including Pixel 3a and later flagships and midrange models, include support. Pixel Fold and Pixel Pro models also support embedded profiles, with regional or carrier exceptions possible.
Which Motorola Razr and Edge phones work?
Select Motorola Razr foldables and many Edge series phones (Edge, Edge Pro, Edge Fusion/Neo) support embedded profiles. Availability depends on the exact model and the country where it was sold.
Do Moto G series phones ever include embedded profile support?
Some Moto G models include support, but it varies by generation and region. Confirm on Motorola’s spec pages or in Settings before relying on a travel plan.
What about Huawei, Oppo, Sony, Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo, and OnePlus models?
Support varies widely. Some Huawei and Oppo flagship models include support while Lite or budget lines may not. Sony Xperia, Xiaomi (including Redmi Note Pro+), Honor, Vivo, and OnePlus have supported models, but regional firmware can affect functionality. Always check the exact model and region.
Can I use Roamight plans on tablets, Windows laptops, and smartwatches?
Yes — select cellular tablets (beyond iPad), Windows laptops with WWAN/LTE/5G modules, and cellular smartwatches can accept profiles if the hardware and firmware support it. Confirm carrier support and device specs before buying.
Why won’t my plan activate if my phone is carrier-locked?
Carrier locks prevent adding or switching to other providers. A locked phone may block profile installation or activation. Unlock the device through your carrier or use an unlocked handset to avoid issues.
What are common Samsung firmware/CSC issues and fixes?
Region-specific CSC builds can disable embedded profiles. Flashing a different regional firmware or using a model sold for your target region can help, but flashing can risk warranty and should be done cautiously or by a professional.
My model name matches a supported phone but the feature is missing — why?
Identical model names can hide region-specific differences. Check the exact model code, EID presence, and carrier firmware. A phone bought from a carrier or in a restricted market may lack the feature despite sharing a name with supported variants.
