Does Honor Support eSIM?

Honor phones purchased directly from Honor or authorized retailers are generally unlocked and can use eSIMs from any compatible carrier. However, if you purchased your Honor phone through a specific carrier's contract, it might be carrier locked. It's best to confirm with your carrier or check your device's settings for unlocking information.

Installing an eSIM on your Honor device is a straightforward process. You'll typically receive an eSIM activation QR code or manual details from your chosen carrier. Here’s how to usually proceed:

• Go to Settings > Mobile network > SIM management.
• Tap on Add eSIM or a similar option.
• You will then have the option to Scan QR code or Enter activation code manually provided by your carrier.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the activation.

Many of Honor's recent models offer eSIM support, providing flexibility for your mobile connectivity. Specifically, the Honor 200 Pro, Honor 400 Lite, Honor 90, Honor Magic 4 Pro, Honor Magic 5 Pro, Honor Magic 6 Pro, Honor Magic V2, Honor Magic V3, and Honor X8 all come equipped with eSIM capabilities as of 2025.

Using an eSIM on your Honor phone offers several advantages, including the ability to easily switch carriers or plans without needing a physical SIM card. It also allows for dual SIM functionality (one physical and one eSIM) on many models, perfect for separating work and personal lines or for international travel. Furthermore, eSIMs can provide enhanced security as they cannot be physically removed from your device.
