Surface Pro 7+ and eSIM: what to know

Only the Surface Pro 7+ with LTE has a cellular modem, and that version supports eSIM alongside a physical nano-SIM. The Wi-Fi-only model has no cellular modem, so it cannot use an eSIM. Windows can store several eSIM profiles, but only one cellular connection is typically active at a time.

  • Add an eSIM: go to Settings > Network & internet > Cellular, then select Manage eSIM profiles (or Add a new profile).
  • Find the EID: look in the eSIM profiles area of the Cellular settings. If it isn't shown there, check the device's cellular hardware properties.
  • Travel tip: download the profile over Wi-Fi before you leave, and turn on data roaming for the travel eSIM once you land.
  • Make sure Windows is up to date so the cellular settings are available.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install the profile before your trip and activate it on arrival. Your main SIM stays in the tablet, so you keep your number and WhatsApp.
