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

Open the Settings on your Microsoft Surface Go 3 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.

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

Surface Go 3 and eSIM: what to know

Only the Surface Go 3 with LTE has a cellular modem, and it supports eSIM alongside a physical nano-SIM. The Wi-Fi-only version has no cellular radio, so it cannot use an eSIM at all. The exact number of profiles you can store depends on the Windows version and the modem, so check your device's eSIM list.

Go to Settings > Network & internet > Cellular and open the eSIM profiles section to add a new profile.
Your EID is shown in the cellular settings (check the eSIM profiles or Advanced options page).
Keep Windows updated before travelling, so the cellular driver and firmware are current.
Travel tip: install the profile on Wi-Fi before you leave, and turn on data roaming for the eSIM line only when you arrive.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, you can get online with your Surface Go 3 abroad without swapping SIM cards. Install it before the trip, activate it on arrival, and keep your main number and WhatsApp on your phone.
