How to Activate eSIM on Pixel Fold

1. Open SIM settings. Go to Settings → Network & internet → SIMs.
2. Add a SIM. Tap the + icon, then Download a SIM instead. Wording varies slightly by Android version.
3. Scan the QR code. Connect to Wi-Fi and scan the QR code Roamix emailed you.
4. Set as data line. Choose the Roamix eSIM as your mobile data SIM.
5. Turn on Data Roaming. Turn on Data Roaming for the Roamix line when you land.

Can the Pixel Fold Keep My Home SIM Active With a Travel eSIM?

Yes. Keep your home nano-SIM in the tray and add Roamix as the eSIM. Roamix plans are data-only, so your home line stays available for calls and texts. Set Roamix as the mobile data line and turn off Data Roaming on your home line to avoid roaming charges.

Pixel Fold eSIM Troubleshooting

Download a SIM instead is missing: The phone is probably carrier-locked. Ask your carrier to unlock it and try again.

Installed but no data abroad: Set Roamix as your mobile data SIM and turn on Data Roaming for that line. Toggle Airplane Mode off and on to reconnect.
