How to check if my phone is carrier-unlocked

Brightkite eSIMs only work on unlocked devices. Here's how to check:

For iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings > General > About
  2. Scroll down to Carrier Lock
  3. If it says “No SIM restrictions”, your phone is unlocked.

For Android (varies by brand):

  1. Insert a SIM card from a different carrier
  2. Restart your phone
  3. If it connects to the network, it's unlocked

Not sure? Contact your mobile provider and ask if your phone is unlocked.
