Nokia XR21 and eSIM: what to know

The Nokia XR21 is a rugged Android phone that supports eSIM alongside a physical nano-SIM, so you can keep your home SIM and add a travel eSIM at the same time. Several eSIM profiles can be stored, but usually only one or two are active at once, depending on the software version.

Where to add it: open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap the add (+) option or "Download a SIM instead?". Menu names can vary slightly between Android versions.
Finding your EID: go to Settings > About phone and look for the EID, or dial *#06# and read it from the screen.
Travel tip: set the eSIM as your mobile data SIM and turn off data roaming on your main SIM to avoid surprise charges.
Before you go: install the eSIM on Wi-Fi, as the phone needs a connection to download the profile.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your Nokia XR21, install it before your trip and activate it when you land. Your main SIM stays in the phone, so you keep your number and WhatsApp.
