Fairphone 4 and eSIM: what to know

The Fairphone 4 supports eSIM. It is a dual-SIM phone that combines a physical nano-SIM slot with an eSIM, so you can keep your home SIM in the phone and add a travel eSIM next to it. One physical SIM and one eSIM can be active at the same time.

Add an eSIM: the Fairphone 4 runs a near-stock version of Android. Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap the add (+) option or "Download a SIM instead?" and scan the QR code.
Find your EID: open Settings > About phone and look for "EID". You can also dial *#06# to display it.
Travel tip: label your eSIM clearly (for example "Travel data") and set it as the mobile data SIM, then turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid surprise charges.
Calls and texts: keep your physical SIM switched on for calls and SMS, and use the eSIM for data only.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your Fairphone 4, install the profile at home over Wi-Fi before you leave and activate it when you land. Your main number stays reachable, and WhatsApp keeps working as usual.
