Google Pixel 4a and eSIM: what to know

The Google Pixel 4a supports eSIM alongside its physical nano-SIM slot, so it works as a dual-SIM phone with one physical SIM and one eSIM. It is not an eSIM-only device, and you can keep your home SIM in the tray while you use a travel eSIM for data.

Add an eSIM: go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap the plus (+) button and follow the steps to download a SIM.
Find your EID: open Settings > About phone and look for the EID entry. You can copy it from there.
Travel tip: in the SIMs menu, choose the travel eSIM for mobile data and turn on Roaming for it. Leave your main SIM for calls and texts.
Keep it tidy: give each eSIM a clear name so you don't mix up lines.

Install your eSIM Prime travel eSIM on the Pixel 4a before you leave, over Wi-Fi, and switch it on when you land. Your main number stays active, so WhatsApp and your usual contacts keep working.
