Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about eSIM compatible devices.
Yes. Your phone or tablet should be unlocked from any carrier lock. Locked devices often block travel eSIM installation even if they support eSIM hardware.
On most dual-SIM devices you can keep your regular SIM for calls and texts while using Nord eSIM for mobile data abroad.
Travel eSIM plans on this site are designed for phones and tablets. Apple Watch cellular support depends on your watch model, carrier, and region — check Apple’s guidance for your device.
No. Many flagship models do, but mid-range and older phones often do not. eSIM support can also vary by country version of the same model.
Open Settings and look for Add eSIM / Mobile Plan options, or dial *#06# on many phones and check for an EID. You can also review the compatible lists on this page.
You will need an eSIM-compatible unlocked device to use Nord eSIM. Contact support if you want help confirming a specific model before purchase.
