Google Pixel 6a and eSIM: what to know

Yes, the Google Pixel 6a supports eSIM. It is a dual SIM phone that combines a physical nano-SIM with an eSIM, so you can have your home line and a travel eSIM active at the same time. You can store more than one eSIM profile on the phone, but it runs one eSIM alongside the physical SIM.

Add an eSIM: open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap the add (+) button and follow the steps to scan the QR code.
Find your EID: go to Settings > About phone > EID, or dial *#06# in the Phone app.
Choose your data line: in the same SIMs menu, set the travel eSIM for mobile data and switch off data roaming on your main SIM.
Travel tip: install the eSIM on Wi-Fi before you leave, and turn it on only when you land.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your Pixel 6a, you get local data abroad while your main SIM stays in the phone. You keep your usual number and WhatsApp account and can still receive calls and SMS.
