Google Pixel 7 Series

The Google Pixel 7 series — Pixel 7, 7 Pro, and 7a — all support eSIM with Dual eSIM capability. This was the first Pixel generation to support two active eSIM lines simultaneously. All three models retain the physical nano-SIM slot.

Key Takeaways

• All Pixel 7 models support eSIM and Dual eSIM.
• Physical nano-SIM slot is present — not eSIM-only.
• Dual eSIM: two active lines at the same time (introduced with Pixel 7).
• Carrier unlock required for third-party eSIMs like Roamix.

Does the Pixel 7 Support eSIM?

Yes. Every Pixel 7 model supports eSIM. The Pixel 7 series introduced Dual eSIM to the Pixel lineup — two eSIM lines can now be active at the same time, alongside the physical nano-SIM slot.

This gives Pixel 7 owners up to three simultaneous lines: one physical SIM and two active eSIMs.

Pixel 7 Models and eSIM Compatibility

How to Activate eSIM on Pixel 7

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Network & internet, then tap SIMs.
3. Tap the + icon or Add SIM.
4. Select Download a SIM instead.
5. Scan the QR code from your eSIM provider. Roamix emails the QR code within 60 seconds.
6. Follow the on-screen prompts to install.
7. In the SIMs menu, set the Roamix eSIM as your preferred data SIM.
8. Enable Data Roaming for the Roamix SIM.

Using Two Lines on Pixel 7

Pixel 7 is particularly flexible for travel because it keeps the physical SIM slot and adds Dual eSIM. A common travel setup:

• Home carrier (physical SIM or eSIM 1): Calls and texts. Data Roaming off.
• Roamix eSIM: Set as preferred data SIM. Data Roaming on.

Manage which SIM handles data at Settings → Network & internet → SIMs.

On older Pixel models (Pixel 2–6), only one eSIM is active at a time. The Pixel 7 is the earliest generation where two travel eSIMs can run simultaneously alongside a physical SIM.

Pixel 7 eSIM for International Travel

Roamix works with any unlocked Pixel 7. Purchase a plan, scan the QR code, and your phone connects to local partner networks when you arrive.

Carrier unlock check: Settings → About phone → SIM status. Pixels purchased directly from Google are sold unlocked.

Pixel 7 eSIM Troubleshooting

"Download a SIM" option missing: Your Pixel 7 may be carrier-locked. Check Settings → About phone → SIM status and contact your carrier to unlock.

eSIM installed but no service abroad: Confirm Roamix is set as the data SIM at Settings → Network & internet → SIMs. Enable Data Roaming for the Roamix SIM. Toggle Airplane Mode off/on to force network registration.

QR code scan fails: Ensure you are on Wi-Fi during installation. Try manual entry using the SM-DP+ address from your Roamix confirmation email if the scan fails.

Only one eSIM active: On Pixel 7, two eSIMs can be active simultaneously. Go to Settings → Network & internet → SIMs and confirm both lines are enabled.

Pixel 7a carrier lock: The Pixel 7a was widely sold through T-Mobile and Verizon. T-Mobile typically requires the device to have been active on their network before unlocking — check your eligibility at T-Mobile's unlock portal or call customer support. Verizon unlocks after 60 days of service.
