Frequently asked questions

Most questions can be answered using the list below.

Does the Fairphone Fairphone 5 support eSIM?

The Fairphone 5 is on our list of eSIM compatible devices. Whether your own unit has eSIM can still depend on the exact model version and the country it was sold in. Check the notes for Fairphone devices on this page and run the quick test in your settings before you buy a plan.

Where do I find the model number of my Fairphone 5?

On an iPhone, open Settings > General > About and tap the model number once to see the full A number. On most Android phones, it sits under Settings > About phone. This number shows which regional version of the Fairphone 5 you own, and that version decides whether your unit has eSIM.

Can I share the eSIM data from my Fairphone 5 with other devices?

TurkSIM eSIMs support hotspot sharing. Turn on the hotspot on your Fairphone 5, and your laptop or tablet can go online with the same data plan. Handy when the hotel Wi-Fi is slow or you need to work on the road.

Can I keep my SIM card when I use an eSIM on the Fairphone 5?

On a dual SIM phone, both run side by side. Your physical SIM keeps your number reachable for calls and SMS, while the eSIM takes over mobile data abroad. In the settings of your Fairphone 5, you choose which line handles data, so your home number stays active the whole time.

How do I install an eSIM on my Fairphone 5?

After you buy a TurkSIM eSIM, we send you a QR code by email. Scan it in the settings of your Fairphone 5, and the eSIM is ready to use within a few minutes. Our installation guide walks you through every step for iPhone and Android.

Will my Fairphone 5 work with an eSIM abroad?

As long as it supports eSIM and is unlocked, your Fairphone 5 can go online abroad with a TurkSIM eSIM. We cover more than 200 destinations worldwide. Heading to Turkey, for example? Then our Turkey eSIM is the plan for your trip.
