Option 1: Check via phone settings

• Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager.
• If the Add eSIM option is available, your phone supports eSIM.

Option 2: Check via dial code

• Dial *#06# on your phone’s keypad.
• If EID (Embedded Identity Document) appears, your phone is eSIM-compatible.

2) Downloading your Orbit Mobile eSIM
