Can’t find EID on my iPhone 11

I'm having trouble finding the EID on my iPhone 11, and I'm seeing the MEID and SEID instead. Can you please guide me on how to locate the EID or confirm if my device supports eSIM functionality and why I'm not seeing the EID?

MEID is the equivalent to an IMEI for CDMA networks, and CDMA doesn’t have SIM or eSIM.


Here is how to:


Find the serial number, EID, or IMEI on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If this is the usual case for these questions, thismis an iPhone with dual SIM slots intended for China mainland, and such models do not have eSIM.

If the iPhone 11 model you have is A2223, then it is dual-SIM, has no eSIM, and eSIM cannot be added.
