What to do if your phone is carrier-locked?

Last updated on 06 Aug, 2026

If your phone is carrier-locked, you will not be able to install the StaffTraveler eSIM. Carrier-locked devices can only use SIM cards provided by the carrier that locked the phone. 

Here are some steps you can take:

1
Ask your carrier to unlock it

Contact your carrier and ask about unlocking your phone. Most will unlock a device once you have finished your contract or paid it off. There may be a charge for this.

2
Check that your model supports eSIM

An unlocked phone still needs to support eSIM. Check yours against the compatible device list.

3
If unlocking is not an option

Use a different unlocked, eSIM-compatible device. You can also use one as a hotspot and connect your locked phone to it.
