Is my phone ready for a SouthESIM in Latin America or Southeast Asia?

Good news for budget adventurers! Most newer smartphones are perfectly set up for SouthESIM. We're talking about models like the iPhone XR and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 series and up, and Google Pixel 3 onwards. The key is ensuring your phone is unlocked by your home carrier and has eSIM functionality. You can usually find this in your phone settings or by doing a quick online search for your specific model. Getting this sorted before you head off to places like Colombia or Thailand means one less thing to worry about!
