See planWhich Google Pixel models are compatible?
Google Pixel phones from the Pixel 3 onward support eSIM, with some country-of-purchase exceptions on the earliest models. Recent Pixels support it everywhere. Always check the exact model, not just the marketing name.
Check it in one minute
Go to Settings > About phone and look for the "EID" line. Dialing *#06# also shows it on most compatible models.
It has to be unlocked
A phone locked to a carrier rejects profiles from other providers. If you got yours with a carrier plan or on installments, check with the carrier that sold it before ordering a Kenya eSIM.
Installing the plan
Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs and add a SIM or eSIM (menu names vary by Android version), then scan the QR code. Do it before you leave, on Wi-Fi, then turn on the line for data when you arrive in Kenya.
Set up your eSIM in 4 steps
- Make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
- Buy the plan, then scan the QR code you receive (or install through the provider's app), on Wi-Fi.
- When you arrive, turn on the eSIM line for data, and turn on roaming for that line only.
- Keep your main SIM for calls and texts, with data roaming turned off.
Your phone must be eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
