Check if a device is compatible with Chime Wireless

Chime Wireless is currently available for iPhones only. Android support is coming at a later date.


To use Chime Wireless, your phone must be either fully unlocked or locked to AT&T. Phones locked to another carrier are not eligible.


Follow the steps below to check if your device works with Chime Wireless.

Step 1: Check if your phone is unlocked

On iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings > General > About.

  2. Scroll down to Carrier Lock.

    • If it says No SIM restrictionsyour phone is unlocked. Continue to Step 2.

    • If it says SIM Locked, your phone is locked. Contact your current carrier to ask about unlocking your device.

Step 2: Check for eSIM support

Chime Wireless uses an eSIM, so your phone needs to support it.

On iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings > General > About.

  2. Look for EID or Available SIM.

    • If either appears, your phone supports eSIM. Continue to Step 3.

You can also open your phone's dialer and type *#06#. If EID appears on the screen, your device supports eSIM.

Step 3: Verify AT&T network compatibility

Use AT&T's IMEI checker to confirm your device is compatible with the AT&T network that powers Chime Wireless.
