What this means in practice

Activation lives under Settings › Network & internet (or Connections) › SIM manager › Add eSIM, with wording that varies by manufacturer skin. The decisive factor on this brand is the regional variant: the same model number ships with or without eSIM hardware depending on the market it was sold in. Check the unit in your hand, not the model name.

Check your own device

A model list tells you what the hardware can do. It cannot tell you whether your particular unit is carrier-locked, or whether it is a regional variant sold without eSIM hardware. Run the free check on the phone itself — it reads the eUICC chip directly and answers in a few seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Do all Nothing models support eSIM?expand_more
Yes, all 3 models carry eSIM hardware. One restriction applies: Varies by region — Phone (4a) has eSIM in Japan only.
Can I use an eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time on the Nothing?expand_more
Yes on most units: one eSIM plus one physical SIM. Dual-eSIM support depends on the model and on the regional variant.
How many eSIM profiles can the Nothing store?expand_more
Capacity varies by manufacturer, typically between two and five stored profiles, with one active at a time.
Why does my Nothing not show the eSIM option?expand_more
Three causes account for almost every case: the unit is a regional variant sold without eSIM hardware, the phone is locked to a carrier that has not provisioned eSIM, or the software is too old. The free check reads the chip directly and tells you which applies.
