An EID (Embedded SIM Identifier) number is a unique 32-digit identifier associated with eSIMs found in modern smartphones, wearables, and other connected devices.

The eSIM, short for embedded SIM, is a tiny, electronic version of the traditional SIM card, which is soldered directly onto a device’s motherboard. The EID number serves as a crucial component for eSIM management, allowing mobile network operators to remotely provision and manage the eSIM profiles on a device.

This means that users can switch between carriers and plans without physically swapping out SIM cards, making it a convenient and flexible option for those who travel frequently or prefer the ease of changing carriers without dealing with physical SIM cards.

How to Find Your EID Number

Locating your EID number may vary depending on the make and model of your smartphone.

However, we have compiled a list of general steps to help you find your EID number on most devices:

Navigate to the “Settings” app on your smartphone.
Scroll down and select “About Phone” or “About Device.”
Look for a section named “eSIM” or “SIM Card & Mobile Networks.”
Within this section, you should see an option labeled “EID” or “Embedded SIM Identifier.”
Tap on this option, and your 32-digit EID number should be displayed.

For iPhone users, the process is slightly different:

Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
Tap on “General.”
Select “About.”
Scroll down until you find the “EID” section. Your 32-digit EID number should be displayed.

If you are unable to locate your EID number using these methods, consult your device’s user manual or contact your device manufacturer for assistance.
