Seamlessly Compatible: Unlock the Power of eSIM with Your Microsoft Surface Duo 2

Let's ensure it's not restricted to any specific carrier or network.

Open the Settings on your Microsoft Surface Duo 2 device.
Navigate to "About Phone" or "SIM & Network" (depending on your model).
Look for an option mentioning "eSIM" or "eSIM Information".

If these options are present, your device is likely eSIM compatible.

Alternative method:

Dial *#06# and press call.

If your device displays an EID number, it's eSIM compatible.

Please note, certain carriers may have policies preventing unlocking within the initial six months of use.

*Devices originating from China, Hong Kong, and Macao do not support eSIM functionality.

Surface Duo 2 and eSIM: what to know

Yes, the Microsoft Surface Duo 2 supports eSIM. It pairs a physical nano-SIM with an eSIM, so you can keep your home line active while using a separate data plan abroad. You can store more than one eSIM profile, but only a limited number can be active at the same time.

Where to add it: open Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network (SIMs) and choose the option to add a new SIM or download one. Menu names can vary slightly between Android updates.
Finding your EID: look in Settings > About phone, or dial *#06# in the Phone app, which shows the EID on most Android devices.
Two screens: scan the QR code from one screen or take a screenshot and open it on a second device, since you can't scan a code displayed on the same screen.
Travel tip: set your travel eSIM as the mobile data line and turn off data roaming on your main SIM to avoid surprise charges.

Install your eSIM Prime travel eSIM on the Surface Duo 2 before you leave, then switch it on when you land. Your main number stays reachable for calls, SMS and WhatsApp.
