iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation) and eSIM: what to know

The iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation) supports eSIM, but only on the Wi-Fi + Cellular models. The Wi-Fi-only version has no cellular modem, so it cannot use an eSIM. Cellular models combine a physical nano-SIM with a built-in eSIM, and you can store several eSIM profiles on the device.

Add an eSIM: go to Settings > Cellular Data and tap Add eSIM (or Set Up Cellular Data), then scan the QR code.
Find your EID: open Settings > General > About and scroll down to EID. You can tap and hold to copy it.
Label your plans: under Cellular Data Plan, give each plan a clear name such as "Travel" so you can switch easily.
Travel tip: before landing, choose the travel eSIM as your cellular data plan and turn off Data Roaming on your home plan to avoid surprise charges.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install the profile on Wi-Fi before your trip and switch it on when you arrive. Your usual SIM stays in place, so your main number and your WhatsApp account on your phone are not affected.
