How do I set up my eSIM on Google Pixel?

Last updated October 14, 2026

Open Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Add eSIM, then scan the QR code from your setup email.

Google Pixel phones from the Pixel 3 onwards support eSIM.

  • Open the setup email on a separate device.

  • On your Pixel: Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > "Add eSIM" (or +).

  • Choose "Scan QR code" and point the camera at the code.

  • Tap "Activate" to add the eSIM and choose to use both SIMs.

  • Set the data line to the Globeelink line; calls and texts stay on your home SIM.

No second device? Open the setup email on your Pixel, then in SIMs settings choose "Enter manually" and type the activation code. Pixel Fold and Tablet work the same way.
