Samsung Galaxy A55 5G and eSIM: what to know

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G supports eSIM alongside its physical nano-SIM slot, so you can run your home line and a travel eSIM at the same time. The phone can store several eSIM profiles, but only a limited number are active at once. Availability can vary by market and carrier version, so check that your unit shows an eSIM option.

Add an eSIM: open Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM, then scan the QR code or enter the details manually.
Find your EID: go to Settings > About phone > Status information, or dial *#06# and look for the EID number.
Choose your data line: in SIM manager, set Mobile data to your travel eSIM and keep data roaming switched off on your main SIM to avoid surprise charges.
Tip: rename your SIMs (for example "Home" and "Travel") so you never mix them up abroad.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install the profile on Wi-Fi before you leave and switch it on when you land. Your main number stays on the physical SIM, so calls, texts and WhatsApp keep working as usual.
