Cómo comprobarlo en el teléfono

  2. Toca el símbolo más junto a SIM y elige Descargar una SIM en su lugar

Cosas que conviene saber

  • Algunos lotes del mercado indio no coinciden con la especificación europea de SIM — comprueba primero el menú de SIM del teléfono.
  • CMF es la submarca económica de Nothing y no sigue la ficha técnica del Nothing Phone, así que la dejamos fuera de la lista hasta que se pueda confirmar cada modelo.
La información de compatibilidad se elabora a partir de las especificaciones del fabricante y de la documentación pública de los operadores. No probamos cada teléfono nosotros mismos, y un mismo modelo puede variar según el mercado de venta, así que comprueba siempre los ajustes de tu propio dispositivo antes de comprar un plan.

What Nothing's own support pages say about eSIM

Nothing's help centre answers Does the Phone support eSIM? separately for each model, and for several models the answer differs from the table on this page. As checked today, Nothing says the Phone (3) supports eSIM; the Phone (1), Phone (2), Phone (2a) and Phone (2a) Plus do not; and the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro support it only in versions sold in Japan. We have flagged the table for correction. Until then, go by Nothing's answer and your own handset's menu.

ModeloNothing's answer
Phone (3)Compatible con eSIM
Phone (3a) / (3a) ProOnly versions sold in Japan
Phone (2a) / (2a) PlusNot supported
Phone (2)Not supported
Phone (1)Not supported
If your Phone (3a) was bought in Thailand or anywhere outside Japan, Nothing's answer means it has no eSIM. Use a physical travel SIM instead.

Where the eSIM menu sits on Nothing OS

We could not find a Nothing help page with step-by-step eSIM menu instructions to verify. Nothing OS keeps close to stock Android's layout, so the route to try is Settings → Network & internet → SIMs, tap the plus or Add SIM, then choose to download an eSIM. If it is not there, search Settings for eSIM.

Check your own Nothing 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 Nothing, 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. 2Abre el menú de añadir eSIMOn a Nothing, go to Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → + or Add SIM → download an eSIM 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. 5Activa la itinerancia de datos para la línea eSIMMost 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 Nothing, 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.
