RedDogFish can be found on a wide range of iPhones and numerous Android devices, making it accessible to a large audience. Whether you're using the latest model or an older version, you can enjoy all the features it offers.
iPhones sold in mainland China don't support eSiMs, and only some iPhone models sold in Hong Kong and Macao support eSiMs. If you have bought an iPhone in any of these countries, check if your iPhone is eSIM-compatible before trying to install an eSIM.
Before you activate an eSIM, it’s essential to make sure your device supports eSIM technology. Not all smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches are eSIM-ready, and compatibility can depend on the model, region, and even the mobile carrier.
On this page, you’ll find everything you need to know about eSIM compatible devices: which phones support eSIM, how to check eSIM compatibility, and what to consider before purchasing a travel eSIM from RedDogFish.
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built directly into your device. Instead of inserting a physical SIM card, you install a mobile plan by scanning a QR code or downloading a profile.
However, eSIM support is not universal. Device compatibility depends on:
hardware support for eSIM,
operating system version,
manufacturer restrictions,
and sometimes regional limitations.
That’s why checking your device model before buying an eSIM is always recommended.
Most iPhones released after 2018 support eSIM. To verify:
Go to Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Data)
Look for “Add eSIM” or “Add Cellular Plan”
