Can I use EastESIM if my phone is carrier-locked?

For your EastESIM to work correctly, your smartphone must be 'carrier-unlocked.' This means it's not tied to a specific network provider from whom you originally purchased the device, often under a contract. If you're unsure, it's best to contact your home mobile carrier to confirm your phone's unlock status before purchasing an EastESIM. Most phones bought outright or after a contract period are unlocked, but verifying this beforehand ensures a smooth experience when connecting to local networks in Asia.
