To keep in mind
- The Huawei P40 Pro+ and P50 are not compatible with eSIM, apparently due to limitations imposed by their ceramic casing.
- Huawei models only allow one eSIM to be installed at a time, and in dual SIM the second slot is disabled. Therefore, two physical SIMs cannot be used simultaneously with the virtual SIM card.
