Samsung: check SIM Manager

Open Settings → Connections → SIM Manager and look for Add eSIM. Then find the model code under Settings → About phone. Compare that code with Samsung’s current support information and the travel provider’s compatibility list.

Galaxy S and Z families are common eSIM candidates, but a model sold in one market may behave differently from one with the same marketing name sold elsewhere.

Google Pixel: check Network & internet

Open Settings → Network & internet → SIMs and look for Add SIM or Set up an eSIM. Confirm that the device is not carrier-locked, especially if it was purchased on an installment plan.
