ASUS und eSIM

ASUS hat eSIM mit den jüngsten Flaggschiffen eingeführt — ab dem ROG Phone 8 und dem Zenfone 11 Ultra. Die früheren kompakten Zenfones haben nur eine physische SIM.

So prüfen Sie es auf dem Handy

  1. Öffne Einstellungen → Netzwerk & Internet → SIMs
  2. Tippe auf SIM hinzufügen und prüfe, ob SIM stattdessen herunterladen angeboten wird
  3. ROG-Phones haben einen X-Modus, der bestimmte Verbindungen deaktiviert — verschwindet das SIM-Menü, schalte ihn zuerst aus

Gut zu wissen

  • ASUS führt eSIM nicht auf einmal in jedem Markt ein, daher können sich ein Gerät für den thailändischen Markt und eines für den europäischen Markt desselben Modells unterscheiden.
  • ASUS-Tablets und -Laptops mit integriertem 5G sind eine eigene Produktlinie neben den Handys — lies für jedes Modell das eigene Datenblatt.
Kompatibilitätsangaben stammen aus Herstellerspezifikationen und öffentlichen Unterlagen der Netzbetreiber. Wir testen nicht jedes Gerät selbst, und dasselbe Modell kann je nach Verkaufsmarkt abweichen, prüfen Sie also vor dem Kauf immer die Einstellungen Ihres eigenen Geräts.

What ASUS's own spec page confirms

ASUS Global's Tech Specs page for the Zenfone 12 Ultra lists Dual-SIM / Dual-Standby with two Nano SIM slots and states eSIM support under SIM Cards. For other models in the table, such as the ROG Phones, open that model's Tech Specs page on the ASUS site for the country you bought it in and check the SIM Cards section for eSIM.

A phone with two physical slots and eSIM does not necessarily run all three at once. ASUS states Dual-Standby, so plan on two active lines, such as one Thai SIM and one eSIM.

Where the eSIM menu sits on ASUS

We could not find a ASUS eSIM help page that we could verify today, so the menu routes below are general Android guidance, not the manufacturer's own instructions. Use the search box in Settings if the menu names differ.

Zenfone and ROG Phone software stays close to stock Android. The route to try is Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add SIM, then Download a SIM instead. On a ROG Phone, if X Mode is on and the SIM menu has disappeared, switch X Mode off first.

Check your own ASUS before you buy a plan

  1. Open the Phone app and dial *#06#. If the screen shows an EID (a 32-digit number), the handset has an eSIM chip. If you see only IMEI numbers, treat it as unconfirmed and carry on with the next check, because some phones do not show the EID on this screen.
  2. Open Settings → Network & internet → SIMs. If there is a button to add or download an eSIM, the software for your unit's market has the feature switched on.
  3. Find the model code under Settings → About phone and compare it with the manufacturer's spec page for the country you bought it in. The model code is more reliable than the marketing name, because one name can cover several market variants.
  4. If the phone is second-hand or imported, ask the seller whether it is network locked. A unit locked to an overseas carrier usually refuses another operator's profile even when an EID is present.

Installing an eSIM on a ASUS, step by step

  1. 1Install in Thailand before you flyConnect to stable Wi-Fi and install the eSIM while you are still at home. If the scan fails you still have time to contact the shop, which beats troubleshooting at the arrival airport with no data.
  2. 2Öffnen Sie das Menü zum Hinzufügen einer eSIMOn a ASUS, go to Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add SIM or + → Download a SIM instead and choose to scan the QR code. If the QR code is on the same phone and you cannot scan it, choose to enter the activation details by hand (the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your email).
  3. 3Label the lineRename the new line, for example Travel or the country name, so you do not mix it up with your Thai SIM when choosing the data line.
  4. 4Leave it off until you landIf the plan's validity starts on first network connection, keep the eSIM line switched off and turn it on only when you reach the destination.
  5. 5Aktivieren Sie Daten-Roaming für die eSIM-LeitungMost travel eSIMs run as roaming on a local network. If the line shows signal but no data, switch on Data roaming in that eSIM line's settings.

Switching the data line while travelling

On a dual-SIM ASUS, calls and texts can use a different line from mobile data. The setting to change is the mobile data line, found at Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Mobile data.

  • Set mobile data to the travel eSIM and keep your Thai SIM for calls and texts, so bank OTP messages still arrive.
  • Switch off Data roaming on the Thai SIM, so the phone cannot fall back to it and run up roaming charges.
  • If the menu offers automatic data switching during calls (labelled Mobile data switching or similar), turn it off while abroad.
  • Back in Thailand, move mobile data back to the Thai SIM, then turn off or delete the expired eSIM line.

Häufige Fragen

Does the Zenfone 12 Ultra have eSIM?+

ASUS Global's Tech Specs page states eSIM support. Confirm on a Thai unit with *#06#, because ASUS does not launch every market at once.

Unterstützt das Modell Zenfone 10 eSIM?+

According to the table on this page, the Zenfone 10 and 9 have two physical SIM slots and no eSIM.

What does X Mode on a ROG Phone have to do with eSIM?+

X Mode suspends some connectivity for gaming. If the SIM menu vanishes or the eSIM will not connect, turn X Mode off before checking anything else.

Can I use two physical SIMs and an eSIM at once?+

ASUS states Dual-Standby, meaning two active lines. Pick two of the three and switch the unused one off while travelling.
