OnePlus eSIM — Compatible Models, Setup & Activation

OnePlus added eSIM support relatively late and it's heavily region-dependent. This guide shows which models support eSIM, the regional caveat, how to check your phone, and how to install eSIM.

OnePlus was relatively late to eSIM, and support remains heavily region-dependent — the same OnePlus model can have eSIM in one market and not another. Generally, eSIM support started with the OnePlus 11 (2023) and is most reliable on US and European variants. This guide shows which OnePlus models support eSIM, the regional caveat that trips up many buyers, how to check your specific phone, and how to install eSIM.

Which OnePlus phones support eSIM

OnePlus with eSIM (region-dependent): - OnePlus 11 (US and EU variants — yes; some Asian variants — no) - OnePlus 12, 12R - OnePlus 13, 13R - OnePlus Open (foldable) - OnePlus Nord 4, Nord series (select recent models, region-dependent)

Generally no eSIM: - OnePlus 10 and earlier (10 Pro, 10T, 9 series, 8 series — physical SIM only) - Older Nord models - Many India-region variants (India OnePlus models historically lacked eSIM)

The regional catch: OnePlus eSIM availability is one of the most inconsistent among major brands. A OnePlus 11 bought in the US has eSIM; the same OnePlus 11 bought in India may not. Always verify with *#06# before buying an eSIM plan.

How to check if your OnePlus supports eSIM

Method 1 — dial *#06#: 1. Open the Phone app. 2. Dial *#06#. 3. Look for the EID line (32-digit number). 4. If EID is present → your OnePlus supports eSIM.

Method 2 — in Settings: 1. Settings → Wi-Fi & network → SIM & network (or Mobile network). 2. Look for “Add eSIM” or a “+” to add a SIM. 3. If present → eSIM is supported.

How to install eSIM on OnePlus — step by step

After buying an eSIM plan, you receive a QR code by email. Open it on another device to scan from the screen.

  1. Connect OnePlus to Wi-Fi.
  2. Open Settings.
  3. Go to Wi-Fi & network → SIM & network.
  4. Tap Add eSIM (or the + next to SIM slots).
  5. Select Scan QR code.
  6. Point the camera at the QR code from the email.
  7. OnePlus downloads the profile in 30-60 seconds.
  8. Confirm, label the line.
  9. For travel eSIM — enable Data Roaming on this line.

OnePlus runs OxygenOS (based on Android), so the flow is similar to stock Android. Activation starts automatically when first connecting to the carrier’s network.
