i believe the quote above is from my post on dual-SIM support on the S20, and the quoted information above is from the Samsung Customer support center, so yes, it looks like it does support e-sim
Confirmed on my Euro S20 that it's there and working.

Nope. That's what I have. When trying to use the camera to take a pic of the QR code for esim it says mobile plans. When selecting it it takes me to the wearables app for a watch esim
Also under IMEI it only has one which tells me there's no esim for the S20.

I also have an unlocked US S20 and I’m pissed that esim is not available. Their website shows otherwise. Any idea if this feature will be enabled via a future update? The box has only one IMEI.

Maybe it's international only? I may contact samsung and see what they say. Yeah it wasn't a big deal for me, but the price of the phone I would expect to get all I can

I have an AT&T S20 that I flashed to Unlocked. On the box, there's 2 SIMs listed, but obviously, no support in the software yet. So we know the US versions are CAPABLE. In theory.
So, Ive got a 980F Dual sim international Unlocked, I've got an option to disable second SIM and use an eSIM great!!

Interesting, I don't have that option in my phone.
Contacted Samsung's support and they said it will be added on future updates, maybe it was released already on some regions while not yet in others
quote from Samsung's customer support:
"Yes. this feature will be added later on with the updates. "

Hey, I managed to make my eSim (G980F) working on the phone by factory resetting when a greek sim is inserted, apparently esim is not supported in my country (probably due to interests of the operators) so it was blocked by software.
note to the people who have multi-csc rom -> if you want to enable features that appear in other countries all you need is to factory reset while your phone have a sim from this country, after rebooting it will ask you if you want to change the country of the phone and it'll change the CSC. no root/ flashing required
note that inserting a sim from a overseas operator WITHOUT formatting will not make the same effect - and your CSC will still remain the original one.
in order to know what features are enabled in each csc of the multi CSC mode you can see the file: /optics/configs/carriers/<your CSC>/conf/cscfeature.xml
those files have readonly access (without root permission), but I assume that if you do have root you will be able to enable/disable features by editing the file
good luck
Hello anyone have any updates as how will be able to have esim or second physical sim activated on 926w (Canada) bought direct from samsung ,all discussions seems to hit a dead end
I really need at least 2 sim on this phone and getting a international version is not an option anymore
Thanks for any input
Happy New Year !
If you are in the USA, its not enabled. Samsung has told several people that it will be, once One UI 4.0 hits. We shall see
I lost hope on esim support for the U1 variant. Paying 2k for a phone and not having the option made me jump to the pixel 6 pro so I only have to carry one phone. Still holding onto the fold though in case it comes later on. If so, id jump from the pixel back to my fold.

What is an eSIM card? How will it impact you? | US Mobile
eSIM offers a new way to load carrier information onto your phone without using an external physical chip, enabling you to switch carriers on the spot.

As European customer with Dual-SIM and eSIM Fold3 I'm not familiar, how Samsung and US carriers deliver the Fold3 in the States. According to your post, your fold is a single SIM device, is that right? Or do you have a carrier, that delivers eSIM support only?
In the USA it is one sim slot only. No dual sim, no Esim. On all carriers. Even unlocked

My like is a like for you but is actually a dislike for the content because it's STUPID that US does not use eSIM more widely.
Where eSIM's are used more than anything else in the US is for Watches. I have a Gear Watch 3 (my Watch 4 is BT only) and it ONLY comes in eSIM and my carrier (T-Mobile) didn't even blink and just activated it. So the SUPPORT IS THERE, just too lazy for widespread adoption.
Get rid of the SIM slot and one less place for dust/water to get in!!

Strange indeed ! I'm with T-Mobile.
No problem here, activated mine over the phone with them.
EDIT: Just read through that page and they claim support for S22 series is coming. BS, it works already! Mine has been on esim for nearly two months. I'm thinking this is more of an OFFICIAL support thing meaning if something breaks you're on your own.

So is Samsung neglecting the S21 FE?
It probably has more to do with the carriers at this point. They still have to attach all of their bloatware to it.

Part of their commitment has been a very public announcement about consistent support and a minimum number of OS updates. Having purchased a Samsung for this reason, I'm beginning to feel concerned about the device's security.
I have the SM-G990U1/DS and even though it's unlocked it seems to be based on a T-Mobile build based off the "TMB" in the URL I'm given to "learn more" from my last successful update on Dec 20th. According to Sammobile, none of the G990U1 models have received OneUI 5 yet, but the G990U *has*... for the ones carrier locked to Comcast or Xfinity Mobile.

I have a G990U3/DS, factory unlocked direct from Samsung. ATT is my carrier. Still no update for UI 5. Latest update is Security patch November 1

I had the same problem with a G990U1/DS model. I bought it used from Amazon. Although it is unlocked, my carrier is ATT and i could not get visual voicemail to work. I spent 2 hrs with ATT tech support and could not get it to work. For some reason, some aspects of the phone (including visual VM), was native to verizon or t-mobile and could not be undone. Althought the used phone was in MINT condition, i had to return it because it didnt play well with ATT.
ATT has a list of 21FE models compatible with their network and G990U1/DS was not on their list of devices.

But they do support the non "DS" (dual SIM) version. In general, AT&T has become very picky lately on which devices they'll deem "compatible". And for no good reason.
Has anyone tried this for our S21 FE? And, what is XAA?

Google developed code for Android to do away with needing more than one eSim- 2 software channels would handle this. Way back then it was projected to make it into 13.
Plus there's a third party Android app that's supposed to accomplish that also.
I'm traveling and left phone behind.
I'm debating whether to return it between wanting a brighter screen, no mmwave + waiting on slow as molasses T-Mobile to enable triple 5G aggregation... & just noticed OP tablet has both phone & messaging icons.
I'm guessing it won't be native calling- rather shortcuts for continuing on computer.
But if it is I'll return phone for tablet instead- Unlimited Plan on only cost $5 (Metro deducts $5 each from other phone plan & tablet plan- Family Plan style. Or go to T-Mobile with tablet- they offer $10 Unlimited Business Tablet Plan).
Then I'll wait for OP 12. On Metro when you upgrade a phone thru them they'll give you another line for free.
The way oneplus decided to use it was either have 2 physical sims or 1 physical sim 1 esim. Why is this so hard to accept.

you are completly wrong. support for dual eSim is ready for Pixel 7 on Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2 update +. Will be default ready on A14 for other manufactors.
While i can't tell for the future (no idea about hardware/software limitations on this), i currently have 1 physical SIM and 2 eSIMs in my OP11. And :
- I can store as many eSIM in the phone as i want (or at least several since i was able to switch between 3 eSIMs).
- You can only have ONE active eSIM at the same moment.
Settings to switch eSIMs are a bit cumbersome but that's OK, it works fine.
My pixel 7 Pro has two esim at one time active so I'm pretty sure it'll make its way into the OnePlus 11 but it was a beta so it'll have to wait until it's fully compatible with all manufacturers I use beta software on my pixel so I get the newest features
You do realize the question is on the oneplus 11 can you use 2 esims at the same time.
Thank you for all the replies.
Dual eSim is a Google thing for all Android phones. Messages & Dialer supposedly give you choice of Sim to use? Sounds like it took a while and still needs work. iPhone handles it ideally- you can select which default handles data & separately which one the calling.
But it'll do for now. You can install T-Mobile app and get offered a free eSim Unlimited 90 day trial. Verizon offers 30 or 60 days, many others offering ¼-½ month.
Although the follow up or alternative to this- iSim, is already on the way for late this year- will be embedded \ won't need dedicated eSim.

iSIM has been available in Qualcomm devices since the Snapdragon 888 and is effectively eSIM built into the SoC. I would be surprised if the phone manufacturers aren't using this to enable eSIM as otherwise they would have to be using a separate eSIM chip at an added cost.
