Will your phone take an eSIM?

  1. 1

    Dial *#06#

    An EID in the list means the phone has an eSIM chip.

  2. 2

    Check the lock

    A phone locked to its carrier refuses other networks. Ask the carrier to unlock it.

  3. 3

    Check the model

    Some models ship without eSIM in certain markets. The list below shows the main ones.

Phones with eSIM

  • Apple iPhone XS, XR and later. Most models sold in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao have no eSIM.
  • Google Pixel 3 and later. Some Pixel 3, 3a and 4 models have no eSIM, depending on where they were sold.
  • Other makers, such as Samsung: dial *#06# and look for an EID.

Not sure? Ask the maker or the shop that sold you the phone before you buy a plan.

Keep your own number

Most phones with eSIM hold two lines. Your home SIM keeps your number for calls and texts, and the EuropeSIM eSIM carries your data.

Texts such as bank codes still reach your home line. Your home carrier may charge for texts and calls abroad.

The facts about local SIMs and roaming come from the sources below.

Coverage in Monte Carlo, the Rock, Port Hercule, Larvotto and Fontvieille

Monaco has one national network, Monaco Telecom, and the whole principality has 4G and 5G coverage. Monaco Telecom brought 5G here in 2019. Since March 2024, the customers of the French networks Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile use the Monaco Telecom network when they visit the principality. Monaco is not in the EU or the EEA, so the EU roaming rules do not apply here.

How fast do I get my Monaco eSIM?

The QR code shows on your order page and by email, seconds after payment. Save it before you leave the page.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, a full refund if the eSIM doesn't work and we cannot fix it. A working eSIM is not refunded because you changed your mind. Write to contact@europesim.eu with your order link.

Do I get a Monegasque phone number?

No. Our plans carry data and do not come with a local number. Your home number stays on your phone.

Install it while you are on Wi-Fi, so that you can scan the QR code and follow the steps. The plan page says when the days of the plan start.

Which network will I use?

The network shows on each plan before you pay, as soon as the store confirms it. Monaco's national networks are Monaco Telecom.
