Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 and eSIM: what to know

The 5G version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 supports eSIM alongside a physical nano-SIM slot, so you can keep your home plan and add a travel eSIM at the same time. The Wi-Fi-only version has no cellular modem, so it cannot use an eSIM at all. The tablet can store more than one eSIM profile, but only a limited number can be active at once.

Add the eSIM: go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM. Menu wording can differ slightly between One UI versions.
Find your EID: open Settings > About tablet > Status information > IMEI information.
Check your model: make sure your Tab S9 is the 5G model, as the Wi-Fi-only one will not show SIM settings.
Travel tip: in SIM manager, choose the travel eSIM for mobile data and switch off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid surprise charges.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, you can install the profile on your Tab S9 before you leave and activate it when you land. Your main number stays on your phone, so WhatsApp and calls there are not affected.
