Does Realme Support eSIM?

Realme phones are generally sold unlocked when purchased directly from Realme or authorized retailers. However, if you purchased your device through a carrier, it might be carrier-locked, especially if it was part of a contract. You can usually check your carrier's policy or contact their support to confirm.

Installing an eSIM on your Realme phone is a straightforward process. You'll typically receive an eSIM activation QR code or manual details from your carrier. Here are the general steps:

• Go to Settings on your Realme phone.
• Navigate to Network & internet or Mobile network.
• Select the + icon or Add SIM and choose the option to Download a SIM or Add eSIM.
• You will then be prompted to Scan QR code or Enter it manually. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation.

In 2025, you can expect eSIM support on a growing number of Realme devices. Currently, the Realme 14 Pro+ and Realme GT 7 are among the top models offering eSIM capabilities. We recommend checking the specifications of newer Realme releases for the most up-to-date information on eSIM compatibility.

Using an eSIM on your Realme phone offers several advantages. It allows for easy switching between different mobile networks without needing a physical SIM card, which is great for travelers or those with multiple plans. eSIMs also contribute to a more seamless device design and can improve security by making it harder to remove or swap a SIM.
