Huawei P40 Pro and eSIM: what to know

The Huawei P40 Pro supports eSIM in its international version, so you can add a travel data plan next to your regular nano SIM. The exact number of eSIM profiles you can store can vary by software version, so check your device's SIM settings. Availability can also differ by market and variant.

Where to add it: open Settings > Mobile network, then look for the SIM management or add eSIM option (menu names can vary slightly between EMUI versions).
Find your EID: open the Phone app and dial *#06#. The EID appears next to the IMEI numbers.
Installation: scan the QR code with the camera on the eSIM screen, or enter the details manually if you can't scan.
Travel tip: set the eSIM as your mobile data line and switch data roaming on for it only, keeping your main SIM for calls and SMS.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your P40 Pro, install it before you leave and activate it when you land. Your main number stays active, so you can still receive WhatsApp verification codes and calls.
