Carrier eSIM Support for Your OPPO Device

Even if your OPPO device is eSIM-compatible, your mobile operator must also support eSIMs for your specific device model. The good news is that as eSIMs gain popularity, more and more carriers worldwide are expanding their eSIM support. However, it's a critical step to verify this with your chosen operator before purchasing an eSIM plan.

How to Check Carrier Support:

Visit Your Carrier's Website: Most carriers have a dedicated section on their website detailing eSIM compatibility and supported devices.
Contact Customer Service: If you can't find the information online, reach out to your carrier's customer support. They can confirm if your OPPO model is supported for eSIM activation on their network.

Managing Your eSIM on OPPO Devices

After installation, managing your eSIM on your OPPO smartphone is simple. You can easily switch between active eSIM profiles, manage data usage, and even remove eSIMs when no longer needed.

Switching Between eSIM Profiles

If you have multiple eSIMs installed (e.g., one for local use and one for travel), you can easily switch between them:

Go to Settings > SIM card & Mobile Data.
Under the SIMs section, you will see your installed eSIM profiles.
Tap on the eSIM you wish to use for mobile data and select it as your preferred SIM for data.

Removing an eSIM Profile

If you no longer need an eSIM profile, you can remove it from your device:

Go to Settings > SIM card & Mobile Data.
Tap on the eSIM profile you wish to remove.
Select Remove SIM or Delete eSIM and confirm your choice.
