Samsung Galaxy A23 5G and eSIM: what to know

The Samsung Galaxy A23 5G is built for physical nano-SIM cards and, to our knowledge, does not support eSIM. It has no eSIM profile storage, so an eSIM cannot be installed on it.

Quick check: open Settings > Connections > SIM manager. If there is no "Add eSIM" option, the phone has no eSIM.
EID: dial *#06# in the Phone app. Phones with eSIM show an EID number; if none appears, the device has no eSIM.
Dual SIM: this model uses its physical SIM slot for SIM cards only, so you cannot add a second line digitally.
Travel tip: if you need an eSIM for a trip, use a newer eSIM-capable phone or tablet, or buy a local physical SIM on arrival.

An eSIM Prime travel eSIM needs an eSIM-compatible device. If you have one, install the eSIM before departure and activate it on arrival, while your main number stays reachable for WhatsApp.
