Yes, the Google Pixel 3 Series supports eSIM technology. This means you can use an eSIM along with a physical SIM card. The models that offer this feature include the Pixel 3, 3 XL, 3a, and 3a XL, which were released in October 2018.
However, there are some limitations. The Pixel 3 series can use a dual-SIM setup, but if your phone was bought from certain local carriers or countries, you can’t use two different carriers at the same time.
How do I check if my Google Pixel 3 supports eSIM?
To check if your Google Pixel 3 supports eSIM, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Go to “Network & Internet.”
- Look for your current mobile plan.
- Check for a “+” icon next to the plan. This icon means you can add another mobile plan using eSIM.
If you don’t see the “+” icon, your device may not support eSIM.
