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.

Google Pixel 7a and eSIM: what to know

The Google Pixel 7a supports eSIM alongside a physical nano-SIM, so you can run two lines at once: one physical SIM and one eSIM. The phone can store several eSIM profiles, but only one eSIM is active at a time, together with your physical SIM if you use one.

Where to add it: open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap "Add" (the + icon) and choose to download a SIM instead, or scan the QR code.
Finding your EID: go to Settings > About phone > SIM status, or dial *#06#. The EID appears in the list of numbers shown.
Travel tip: keep your home SIM active for calls and texts, and set the travel eSIM as your mobile data line in the SIMs menu. Turn on "Mobile data" for it and switch off data roaming on your main line if you want to avoid roaming charges.
Before you go: install the eSIM on Wi-Fi, since the phone needs an internet connection to download the profile.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your Pixel 7a, you can install it before your trip and activate it when you land. Your main number stays reachable, so WhatsApp and your usual accounts keep working as normal.
