Most modern smartphones manufactured from 2018 onwards are eSIM compatible, including popular models like the iPhone 11, Samsung Galaxy S20, and Google Pixel 4, and all newer versions. Crucially, your phone must also be 'carrier-unlocked.' To verify, check your phone's settings for an option like 'Add eSIM' or 'Add Cellular Plan.' If you see this, you're likely good to go with Truly Roaming.
