How do I install and set up my eSIM on my Pixel device?
First of all, you must check the following items in order to guarantee that you are able to successfully install and set up your eSIM:
- Your device needs to be eSIM compatible and network unlocked. (see “What devices support eSIM?” + “How to check if my Android device supports eSIM?“)
- You have a stable connection, preferably WiFi. (You need to download the eSIM properly to your device and a stable internet connection is a must.)
There are 2 ways to add an eSIM to your device:
- By scanning the QR Code from the “QR code” tab
