Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and eSIM: what to know

Recent Samsung Galaxy Z Fold models support eSIM, but the very first Galaxy Fold generation did not, so check your exact model. Most models pair a physical nano-SIM with an eSIM, so you can run two numbers at once, and the phone can store several eSIM profiles at the same time.

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 > IMEI information, or dial *#06#.
Travel tip: in SIM manager, set mobile data to your travel eSIM and keep your main SIM for calls and texts. Turn on data roaming for the travel eSIM only.
Big screen: you can scan the QR code from another screen or device while the Fold is unfolded for easier setup.

Install your eSIM Prime travel eSIM on your Galaxy Z Fold before you leave, over Wi-Fi, and activate it when you land. Your main number stays active, so WhatsApp and incoming calls keep working as usual.
