Redmi K Series eSIM for International Travel
Roamix works with any unlocked Global Redmi K series phone. Purchase a plan, scan the QR code on Wi-Fi, and connect to local networks on arrival.
CN ROM warning: The Redmi K series is primarily a China-market product. If you purchased a K60 Ultra or K70 in China or from a Chinese importer, you almost certainly have CN ROM — which has no eSIM hardware. Confirm your variant before buying an eSIM.
Carrier unlock check: Settings → About phone → SIM status. Contact your carrier if locked.
Troubleshooting Redmi K Series eSIM
"eSIM feature not available" or "Manage eSIM" missing: Your device is CN ROM — no eSIM hardware. This is definitive. You need the Global variant of the K series.
"Manage eSIM" path on HyperOS: Settings → Mobile network → SIM cards & mobile networks → Manage eSIM. If absent on a confirmed Global model, the device may be carrier-locked. Check Settings → About phone for an EID number — if present, eSIM hardware exists.
eSIM installed but no data abroad: Settings → Mobile network → select Roamix → enable Data Roaming → set as default data SIM. Toggle Airplane Mode on/off.
QR scan fails: Must be on Wi-Fi. Tap "Enter activation code" for manual entry using the SM-DP+ address from your Roamix email.
Redmi K Series eSIM — Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Redmi K70 Pro have eSIM?
The Global variant does. CN ROM (Chinese domestic) K70 Pro — which is the version most commonly sold in China — does NOT have eSIM hardware. Verify your variant at Settings → About phone → Model before purchasing an eSIM.
How do I know if my Redmi K series is CN ROM or Global?
Settings → About phone → Model. CN ROM model numbers typically show no regional suffix or include CN. The Redmi K series is overwhelmingly CN-market — if you bought it in China or from a Chinese importer, it is almost certainly CN ROM without eSIM.
How do I activate eSIM on Redmi K series with HyperOS?
Settings → Mobile network → Manage eSIM → Add eSIM → Scan QR code. Set the Roamix eSIM as the default data SIM and enable Data Roaming.
Why does my Redmi K70 show 'eSIM feature not available'?
Your device is CN ROM without eSIM hardware. This is a hardware difference, not a software lock. Installing a Global ROM will not add eSIM capability to CN hardware. You need the Global variant.
