What to do next
On paper this model does not carry an eSIM. Before deciding anything, open the SIM menu on the handset once, because the same model sold in another market can differ. If it genuinely is not there, the alternatives are ordinary: a physical SIM bought at the destination, or a second device that does support eSIM sharing its connection over a hotspot.

FAQ
Does the OPPO Reno series support eSIM?+
The Reno series normally ships without eSIM, so check your own handset's SIM menu before buying a plan.
How do I confirm eSIM on the Reno series actually in my hand?+
Open the settings menu using the steps on this page. If you see an option to add a cellular or eSIM plan, the handset supports it. That check beats going by the model name, because the same model sold in a different market can ship with a different SIM arrangement.
I bought this handset abroad — does eSIM still work the same way?+
The eSIM chip itself is not tied to where you bought the phone, but some market variants leave the feature out at the factory, and a handset bought on contract from a carrier may still be network locked. Check those two things first: whether the eSIM menu exists, and whether the phone is carrier unlocked.
If I install a travel plan on this phone, does my home SIM keep working?+
Yes. A handset with eSIM holds several profiles and can keep two lines active at once, so the normal setup is the eSIM carrying data while your usual SIM stays in for calls and SMS. Your home SIM only runs up roaming charges if you leave data roaming switched on for that line.
What do I do if this handset has no eSIM?+
You can still travel normally; you just need a physical SIM at the destination, or a spare handset that does support eSIM acting as a hotspot. It is also worth checking the tablet or second phone in your bag, because plenty of people are already carrying a device that works without realising it.
