Dual SIM models — China mainland, Hong Kong, Macao — have no eSIM.


With the “A” number from Bob Timmons’ posting, check here: Identify your iPhone model - Apple Support


A3108 is the “A” model number of an iPhone 15 Pro Max with dual SIM, and no eSIM.


If you have a dual-SIM model — again, a model intended for China mainland, Hong Kong, or Macao — then you have no eSIM, and no eSIM support can be retrofitted.

Thank you for the screenshot.


Getting the SEID Number

Depending on your location, you may have purchased a dual eSIM card. China is a common ground for these. Being so, you would not be expected to see a SEID number. Adding a eSIM card no your own is not an option.
