Google Pixel 3 XL and eSIM: what to know

Yes, the Google Pixel 3 XL supports eSIM. It was one of the first Pixel phones to offer it, alongside a physical nano-SIM. You can keep your home SIM in the tray and use an eSIM as a second line, with one line active for data at a time. Availability of eSIM on this model can depend on the regional version and your carrier.

Add an eSIM: open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap the add (+) option and choose to download a SIM. Exact wording may vary with your Android version.
Find your EID: open Settings > About phone and look for EID, or dial *#06# in the Phone app.
Travel tip: set your eSIM as the mobile data line and turn off data roaming on your main SIM to avoid surprise charges.
Keep it updated: install the latest available Android update before adding a new eSIM profile.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, you can install the profile on your Pixel 3 XL before you leave and switch it on when you land. Your main number stays reachable for calls, texts and WhatsApp while you use local data.
