How do I install eSIM on my Huawei Android device?

To install an eSIM on your Huawei Android device (if it supports eSIM, such as the Huawei P40 series or Mate 40 Pro), follow these steps:

1. Check Compatibility

Ensure your Huawei device supports eSIM. Not all Huawei devices have eSIM functionality, so verify this in the device’s specifications or with Huawei support.

2. Obtain eSIM QR Code

You need an eSIM activation QR code from your carrier. This is typically provided via email, SMS, or their app.

3. Open Settings

Go to Settings on your Huawei device.

4. Go to Mobile Network

Navigate to Mobile Network under the Wireless & networks section.

5. SIM Management

Tap on SIM management.

6. Add eSIM

Select Add eSIM or SIM card manager, and then tap on Add eSIM. This will open your camera to scan the QR code.

7. Scan the QR Code

Use your device’s camera to scan the eSIM activation QR code provided by your carrier. If your carrier provided an SM-DP+ address and activation code, you can manually input those details instead.

8. Complete Setup

Follow the on-screen prompts to finalize the installation. The process may include setting the eSIM as your preferred SIM for calls, texts, or data.

9. Configure SIM Preferences

Once installed, go to SIM management to set your eSIM as the default for data, calls, or SMS, depending on your needs.

10. Restart Device (if needed)

Some devices may require a restart after the eSIM is successfully installed.

If you experience any difficulties, your carrier or Huawei support can assist further with the setup process.
