Common questions

Does the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE have eSIM?

Yes — the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE supports eSIM. Samsung notes that eSIM can depend on the country the phone was made for — versions made for mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan are widely reported not to have it. To be sure about your own phone, dial *#06# and look for a 32-digit EID number.

Can a software update add eSIM to the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE?

No. eSIM needs a chip built into the phone at the factory. If your phone doesn't have one, no update will add it — the EID check (*#06#) tells you straight away.

Does eSIM work if my phone is locked to a network?

A phone locked to one carrier usually can't use another provider's eSIM. Ask the carrier you bought it from to unlock it before you travel.

My phone shows an EID but there's no "Add eSIM" option. Why?

Some mobile networks switch eSIM off on their lines, even when the phone supports it. Only the network can switch it back on — ask them to enable eSIM on your line, or install the eSIM using a different phone.
