Google Pixel and eSIM
Pixel has supported eSIM since the Pixel 2, though the earliest models were tied to specific carriers. From the Pixel 6 onward it is one of the easiest families for travel eSIM.

How to check on the phone
- Open Settings → Network & internet
- Tap the plus next to SIMs and choose Download a SIM instead
- The wording changes between Android versions — search Settings for eSIM if you cannot find it
Things to know
- Some carrier-bought US Pixels stay locked until unlocked.
- On the Pixel 2 through Pixel 4 era, eSIM was still tied closely to carriers, so on a second-hand unit of that age test the menu before buying a plan.
- The Pixel Tablet is Wi-Fi only — no cellular, no eSIM.
Compatibility information is compiled from manufacturer specifications and public carrier documentation. We do not test every handset ourselves, and the same model can differ by sales market, so always check your own device's settings before buying a plan.
