Huawei Mate 40 Pro and eSIM: what to know

eSIM availability on the Huawei Mate 40 Pro can depend on the model variant and the market where it was sold, so it is worth checking your own unit before you buy. If your phone supports eSIM, it can use it alongside a physical nano SIM, but the number of profiles you can store and run at once depends on the software version.

Check for an EID: dial *#06# in the phone app. If an EID appears next to the IMEI, your phone has an eSIM chip.
Where to add it: open Settings > Mobile network and look for the option to add or manage an eSIM or mobile plan. The exact wording depends on your EMUI or HarmonyOS version.
Travel tip: once the eSIM is installed, choose it for mobile data and turn off data roaming on your main SIM to avoid unexpected charges.
Keep the QR code: save it or keep the installation email available until the eSIM is installed.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, you can install the profile before your trip over Wi-Fi and activate it when you land. Your main SIM stays active, so you keep your number and can still receive calls, texts and WhatsApp verification messages.
