Does the Samsung Galaxy S23 Support eSIM?

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S23 supports dual SIM functionality. You can use one physical nano-SIM card and one eSIM simultaneously, or even two eSIMs, depending on your carrier and region. This is ideal for managing separate personal and work numbers, or for international travel.

Activating an eSIM on your Samsung Galaxy S23 is a straightforward process. You'll typically receive an activation code (QR code or manual entry details) from your carrier. Here’s how to do it:

• Go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager.
• Tap Add eSIM.
• Choose Scan QR code or Add using activation code and follow the on-screen prompts.
• Once added, you can manage your eSIM profile within the SIM manager.

Using an eSIM on your Samsung Galaxy S23 offers several advantages. It allows for easier switching between carriers or plans without needing to physically swap SIM cards. It's also more secure, as an eSIM cannot be easily removed or lost, and it frees up the physical SIM tray for a second physical SIM if needed.

Transferring an eSIM to your Samsung Galaxy S23 depends on your carrier's policy. Some carriers support direct eSIM transfer through a process initiated on your new device or via their app. However, in many cases, you may need to contact your carrier to deactivate the eSIM on your old device and reactivate it with a new profile on your Samsung Galaxy S23 for security reasons.
