FAQs when configuring an eSIM on your Samsung Galaxy

Does eSIM work on my Samsung Galaxy S20 if my carrier offers it on iPhone?

No. The iPhone is supported by most carriers, this does not mean that your Galaxy S20 will work. You need to check with your carrier to make sure it is supported.

Will my Samsung Galaxy S20 be supported by my carrier’s eSIM in the future?

It is likely that after an upgrade you will be able to enable eSIM support in your operator, as the Samsung Galaxy S20 hardware has this technology built in.

Does removing a mobile plan mean that I have unlinked my eSIM from my operator?

No. To terminate your eSIM service you must contact your operator.
