Google Pixel 4 XL and eSIM: what to know
Yes, the Google Pixel 4 XL supports eSIM. It works as a dual-SIM phone with one physical nano-SIM and one eSIM, so you can keep your home SIM in the tray and add a travel eSIM next to it. Only one eSIM can be used at a time alongside the physical SIM.
- 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 and look for EID, or dial *#06# to see it on screen.
- Travel tip: in the SIMs menu, set your eSIM as the mobile data SIM and turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid unexpected charges.
- Stay updated: install the latest available Android update before travelling so eSIM setup runs smoothly.
With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install the profile on your Pixel 4 XL before you leave and switch it on when you land. Your main SIM stays active, so you keep your number and WhatsApp while using local data abroad.
