Is the Google Pixel 7 eSIM Compatible?

Yes, eSIM is available on all Pixel 7 models, including the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel 7a. You can confirm compatibility directly from your phone settings: if the option to add an eSIM appears under Mobile Data, your device supports it. Compatibility can vary by region, and Pixel devices sold in Hong Kong and Macao do not support eSIM. Keep reading to learn how to check compatibility step by step before installing an eSIM.

How to check if your Google Pixel 7 supports eSIM

There are two quick ways to verify eSIM compatibility on a Google Pixel. Both methods take under a minute and don’t require installation.

Check eSIM compatibility from your Pixel settings

• Go to Settings → Tap on Network & Internet → Choose SIMs → If the option 'Add SIM' is available, your device supports eSIMs.

Check eSIM compatibility by dialing *#06#

• Open the Phone app → Go to the keypad → Dial *#06# → If you see the EID code, your Pixel 7 is compatible with eSIM.

How to set up an eSIM on Google Pixel 7

Once compatibility is confirmed, you can install your eSIM in two simple ways: by scanning a QR code or by manually entering the activation details provided by your carrier. 

Before installing, make sure you’re connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and that your device has at least 20% battery to ensure a smooth installation.

To keep in mind

• Even if your Pixel supports eSIM, it may be locked to a specific carrier, which can prevent you from using eSIMs from other providers.
• Compatible Google Pixel devices can store multiple eSIM profiles, which is useful if you travel frequently or plan future trips.
• Only one eSIM can be active at a time for mobile data and calls.
• Pixel 7 models support Dual SIM, allowing you to use one physical SIM and one eSIM simultaneously, for example, keeping your regular line active while using an eSIM for data when traveling.

Troubleshooting tips

What to do if your Pixel is not eSIM compatible

• If you save the eSIM, make sure it’s for the same destination it was purchased for, as using it in a different country may prevent it from working correctly.
• Use the eSIM on another compatible device if you have one available.
• Save the eSIM for a future trip if you don’t need it right away.
