Does Popcorn work with my phone?

Written by Neel Popat

Popcorn works on both iPhone and Android devices with eSIM support.

Rule of thumb:

  • If you're using an iPhone 12 or newer, or an Android device from the last 5 years with eSIM support, you're good to go

  • For the best experience, we recommend iPhone 13 or later, or a recent flagship Android device (e.g. Google Pixel 6+, Samsung Galaxy S22+)

Make sure your phone is unlocked:

Your device must be carrier unlocked to use Popcorn. You can quickly check this following the instructions below:

iPhone

  • On your iPhone;

  • Go to Settings → General → About;

  • Scroll to Carrier Lock;

  • If it says “No SIM restrictions”, you’re all set ✅

  • If you see a carrier listed this means your phone is locked 🔓

Android

  • Go to Settings → Network & Internet (or Connections, depending on your device)

  • Tap Mobile Network or SIM cards

  • Look for Network Operators or a similar option and disable "Select automatically"

  • If your phone displays multiple carrier networks, it's unlocked. If only your current carrier shows up, it's locked

Menu names can vary slightly by manufacturer (Samsung, Pixel, etc.). If you have any issues verifying, please feel free to contact our support team.

If your phone is locked, you'll need to contact your carrier to unlock it. This may require paying off any remaining device balance.
