com.sec.phone

A hidden Samsung telephony package with no public description, reported to be needed when adding an eSIM. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.

What it does

This Samsung package has no icon and no description from Samsung, and Settings shows only its package name. Community testers describe it as a telephony test and support component and report that adding a new eSIM hangs when it is disabled. It is present on almost every Galaxy profile in device surveys.

If you disable it

Adding an eSIM can stall on a spinning screen. No effect on ordinary calls has been reported.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.phone

adb shell pm enable com.sec.phone

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.phone

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.sec.phone

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
