LG Gram laptops are celebrated for their impossible lightness and impressive battery life. By integrating eSIM technology into the premium 14-inch, 16-inch, and 2-in-1 models (equipped with WWAN), LG has ensured that mobile power users can enjoy standalone global data via Roamix without additional accessories.
Key Takeaways
- Ultra-Light Connectivity: Selective LG Gram models feature integrated eSIM chips for dedicated cellular data.
- WWAN Ready: Only configurations with built-in LTE or 5G modems support digital SIM profiles.
- LG Smart Assistant Support: Refined management for your network settings and modem health.
Does LG Gram Support eSIM?
Yes, but only in configurations that include a cellular (WWAN) modem. While the LG Gram series is designed for portability, the internal eSIM hardware is only available in models built for true 'Always Connected' usage. This allows you to add a digital data profile from Roamix directly through the standard Windows Settings interface.
How to Verify Compatibility: Go to Windows Settings → Network & Internet. If you see a 'Cellular' section, your LG Gram supports eSIM. If the menu is missing, your laptop is a Wi-Fi-only variant.

How to Activate eSIM on LG Gram
To install your travel profile, ensure you have an active Wi-Fi connection:
- Press Windows + I to open the Settings menu.
- Navigate to Network & Internet.
- Select Cellular.
- Click Manage eSIM profiles or Add a cellular plan.

- Follow the prompts to finish the profile installation.
- In the cellular settings, ensure Data Roaming is toggled to ON for the Roamix SIM.
LG Gram eSIM Troubleshooting
"Cellular" option is not visible: This is the most common issue. First, ensure you have the latest modem drivers installed via the LG Update Center or LG Smart Assistant. If it still doesn't appear, your specific LG Gram configuration may lack the internal 4G/5G hardware.
QR code setup fails: If the camera fails to scan the code, try manually typing the activation details. You can find the SM-DP+ address and Activation code in your Roamix confirmation email.
No service after install: Verify that Data Roaming is enabled in the cellular settings. Also, ensure the cellular modem is enabled in the Windows Device Manager network adapters list.
