Galaxy Book 3 and eSIM: what to know

The Galaxy Book 3 runs Windows 11, which supports eSIM, but eSIM only works on versions with a built-in cellular modem. Many Galaxy Book 3 configurations are Wi-Fi only, so check whether your exact model offers 4G/5G. Where a modem is present, the eSIM works alongside any physical SIM, and Windows can store several eSIM profiles, with usually one active at a time.

Add an eSIM: open Settings > Network & internet > Cellular, then choose the eSIM profiles option and select Add profile.
Activation code: a laptop is often easier to set up by typing the activation code from your email than by scanning a QR code.
Find the EID: look in the Cellular settings, in the eSIM or advanced options. If it is not shown, your model may not have eSIM hardware.
Travel tip: keep the Cellular settings open before departure so you know where to switch profiles on arrival.

Install your eSIM Prime travel eSIM on the Galaxy Book 3 before your trip and activate it when you land. Your main number and WhatsApp stay available on your phone.
