How many eSIMs can a Google Pixel 5 have?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n

As in many other eSIM compatible cellular phones, you might install multiple eSIM profiles on your Google Pixel 5 but only 1 eSIM profile can be active at any time. You can, however, use an eSIM profile and a SIM card at the same time as you do with the dual SIM feature.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How do I convert my SIM card to eSIM?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n

In order to convert your SIM card to an eSIM on your Pixel phone, contact your network provider and verify that they offer that service. If they support eSIMs all you need to do is ask them to convert your SIM card to an eSIM. They\u2019ll provide you with a QR code and\/or a manual code so you can scan\/introduce the code with your Pixel device and you\u2019ll be ready to transition into eSIM.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Can I use both an eSIM and a SIM card on my Google Pixel 5?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n

Yes. Since the Google Pixel 5 supports eSIMs, you can have both an eSIM and a physical SIM card active at the same time. The device has a built-in eSIM slot, so you can use two cellular plans simultaneously. You can select which card to use for your data needs and which one for calls and SMS.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Where can I check if a certain eSIM is supported on my device?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n

The first source of information regarding compatibility should be the carrier\u2019s list of compatible devices. If your device doesn\u2019t show up, contact customer support and verify that the device list has been updated\u00a0 recently. However, since the Google Pixel 5 isn\u2019t a brand new device on the market, it is compatible with most carriers, and if it doesn\u2019t show up in their list, then your mobile phone doesn\u2019t support their eSIM.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
