On the hardware side it does include an e-SIM but unfortunately none of the UK Networks that provide e-SIM include in the Pixel 2 in the supported devices list. The list generally start with Google Pixel 3XL.
Hey Kumassah Kelly, with most eSIMs you'll get a QR code or option to download and install from the provider. Once removed you (often) won't be able to use these details again, so if you still have an active contract or connection, you'll need to get another QR code or download details from the provider. This can often be done quite simply from the network or provider's website once you've logged in.
If I have a Canadian Phone number - I need to keep active so I dont miss calls and texts. But I want to avoid Roaming charges. Can I use an eSim for Data - Which will allow me to have Whatsapp running. So I can then see texts and calls come in and then use Whatsapp to call or text back? I ask because I know Whatsapp is Tied to a phone number but that phone number would not technically have Data If i was abroad..
Hi Kim. So this is a complex one. Whatsapp is tied to a number, but once it's tied, it just needs an internet connection. So if you have already set your Whatsapp up with that Canadian sim, then you can use an eSim with data to continue getting messages and calls. The problem is, if you also have a UK Sim that you want tied to Whatsapp, then you won't be able to do that in the same app I'm afraid. Are you using a Pixel?
Hey @particlevonfig8935 When you get an eSIM, most networks share a single use QR code that you can scan to setup your eSIM. But it does depend on the carrier.
Hey @miguelandresmartineztorres6516 Sorry ESim didn't work for you in Colombia. We are UK based so for anything outside of the UK I'd always suggest checking the carrier info for what should work in specific regions.
Salve. Perché non posso disattivare la SIM fisica e utilizzare solo esim?
How can I add esim on pixel watch ?
Does the google pixel 2xl support the esim feature

Is it possible to use 2 active eSIMs at the same time?
Hey, yes. As long as your Pixel is eligible for esim's and your chosen provider provides them, then you can use 2 esim's on 1 phone. 😁
Does pixel 6a support esim..?
Hey @andrewsewangi8747 Yes, Pixel 4 and later all work with esim. As long as your carrier offer esim it will work with Pixel 6a ☺
Can I have more than one E-sim ( Aralo and Dent) on my Pixel 6 ?
One eSIM and one physical SIM on Pixel 6.
What do you mean by if you remove it you can't have it again?

Is the pixel 7 allowing 2 Esim right now ?
Hey Bluepawn. An eSIM and one physical SIM are compatible with Pixel 7.
network QR code???
my internet provider does not know what I'm talking about, why didn't you specify in the video?
Anyhow, thank you.
