Seamlessly Compatible: Unlock the Power of eSIM with Your Google Pixel 4

Let's ensure it's not restricted to any specific carrier or network.

Open Settings on your Google device.
Go to "Network & Internet".
Find "Mobile network" or "SIM cards" (depending on your device).

If you see "eSIM cards" or "Add eSIM profile" option, your device is likely unlocked for eSIM.

Please note, certain carriers may have policies preventing unlocking within the initial six months of use.

*The following Google Pixel devices DO NOT have eSIM capability:

Devices originating from China, Hong Kong, and Macao do not support eSIM functionality.
Pixel 3 models from Australia, Taiwan, and Japan, as well as those purchased through US or Canadian carriers other than Sprint and Google Fi.
Pixel 3a models purchased in Southeast Asia and through Verizon carrier.

Google Pixel 4 and eSIM: what to know

The Google Pixel 4 (and Pixel 4 XL) supports eSIM alongside its physical nano-SIM slot. This gives you dual SIM use, with one physical SIM and one eSIM active at the same time. It is not an eSIM-only phone, so you can keep your home SIM in the tray while you add a travel eSIM.

Where to add it: open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap the add (+) button or "Download a SIM instead?" and scan the QR code.
Finding your EID: go to Settings > About phone > SIM status (or EID), or dial *#06# and look for the EID number.
Travel tip: set the travel eSIM as your mobile data SIM and turn on Data roaming for it. Leave your home SIM on for calls and SMS.
Before you leave: the Pixel 4 needs Wi-Fi to download the eSIM profile, so install it at home or at your hotel.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install the profile before your trip and activate it when you land. Your main number stays reachable, and WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.
