Key Takeaways

- X8c eSIM isn't confirmed.
- Add eSIM in SIM settings gives you the answer for your phone.
Do the Honor X8c, X9c and X9d Support eSIM?
Probably not on most versions. GSMArena lists the X9c and X9d with two nano-SIMs, and none of the three appears on its list of Honor phones with eSIM. Some compatibility lists do include them, so a regional version may differ. If your phone shows Add eSIM, you can use one.

How to Activate eSIM on Honor X Series
- Open SIM settings. Go to Settings → Mobile network → SIM management.

- Scan the QR code. Connect to Wi-Fi and scan the QR code Roamix emailed you.

- Turn on Data Roaming. Turn on Data Roaming for the Roamix line when you land.
Honor X eSIM Troubleshooting
Add eSIM is missing: Your version has no eSIM hardware, and a software update won't add it. Use a physical SIM abroad, or a phone with eSIM.
Add eSIM appears but the install fails: Connect to Wi-Fi, check that the phone is carrier-unlocked, then contact Roamix support.
