Does the Google Pixel 6 Series have eSIM?

Yes, the Google Pixel 6 series, including the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a, supports eSIM technology. This means you can activate a cellular plan without a physical SIM card. With eSIM, you can use both a physical SIM and an eSIM at the same time. All models in the Pixel 6 series have eSIM capabilities, so they're compatible with this feature. This allows you to easily switch between different carriers or plans without changing SIM cards. However, check with your mobile operator to ensure they support eSIM and to understand their activation process.

How do I check if my Google Pixel 6 supports eSIM?

To check if your Google Pixel 6 supports eSIM, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Go to "Network & Internet."
3. Select "Mobile network."
4. Look for an option that says "Add a new SIM" or a "+" icon.

If you see these options, your device likely supports eSIM. Next, tap on "Add Operator." If you see "Don't have a SIM card?" you can proceed to scan a QR code or enter an activation code. This confirms your Pixel 6 is compatible with eSIM.
