Huawei Pura 70 Pro eSIM

Does the Huawei Pura 70 Pro support eSIM?

Huawei Pura 70 Pro eSIM compatibility

Yes, the Huawei Pura 70 Pro supports eSIM on international variants. If you purchased your device outside mainland China, you can activate and use an eSIM alongside a physical nano-SIM card. China-market models may differ in eSIM availability, so if you bought your Pura 70 Pro in China, check your device's SIM settings or consult Huawei's official specifications to confirm eSIM support for your specific variant.

Dual SIM with eSIM and physical SIM

The Huawei Pura 70 Pro offers dual SIM functionality: one physical nano-SIM slot and one eSIM. You can use both simultaneously, which makes it simple to keep your home number active for calls and texts while adding a travel eSIM for mobile data abroad. The device does not support dual eSIM operation—you'll always need the physical SIM if you want two lines active at once.

How to set up an eSIM on the Huawei Pura 70 Pro

Set up an eSIM in Settings

Installing an eSIM on your Huawei Pura 70 Pro takes about 60 seconds. You'll need a Wi-Fi connection and the QR code from your eSIM provider. Follow these steps to activate your eSIM:

1. Open Settings and tap Mobile network (or SIM management, depending on your EMUI/HarmonyOS version).
2. Tap SIM management or eSIM, then select Add eSIM or Add mobile plan.
3. Scan the QR code provided by your eSIM carrier using your device's camera.
4. Wait while your Pura 70 Pro downloads and installs the eSIM profile—this usually completes within a minute.
5. Label your new eSIM line (e.g., "Travel" or "Data") so you can identify it easily in settings.
6. Choose which line to use for mobile data, calls, and SMS in the SIM management menu.

Once activated, your eSIM appears alongside your physical SIM in the mobile network settings. You can switch between lines or turn either SIM on or off at any time.

Using a travel eSIM on the Huawei Pura 70 Pro

Stay connected abroad without roaming fees

A travel eSIM is the easiest way to get mobile data when you're traveling internationally. Instead of paying roaming charges on your home plan or hunting for a local SIM card at the airport, you install a data-only eSIM before you fly. Your Huawei Pura 70 Pro will connect to a local network as soon as you land, and you'll keep your primary number active for incoming calls and two-factor authentication codes.

Install your travel eSIM while you're still at home and connected to Wi-Fi. Most eSIM plans activate automatically when you arrive in your destination country, so you won't need to find a SIM vendor or navigate a foreign carrier store. You can browse eSIM plans by destination and data allowance, compare coverage and speeds, and purchase the plan that fits your trip. The QR code arrives by email instantly, ready to scan into your Pura 70 Pro.

Tips & troubleshooting

Enable data roaming for your eSIM line

After you install a travel eSIM, go to Settings > Mobile network and select your eSIM line. Turn on Data roaming for that line—despite the name, you won't incur roaming fees because the eSIM connects you directly to a local network. Also confirm that Mobile data is assigned to your eSIM in the SIM management menu, so your Pura 70 Pro uses the travel plan for internet access.

Keep your home SIM active for calls and texts

Set your primary physical SIM as the default line for voice calls and SMS. This way, you'll receive calls and verification codes on your usual number while the eSIM handles data. You can toggle each line on or off independently, which is useful if you want to avoid any roaming charges on your home SIM—just disable its mobile data while leaving calls and texts enabled.

Fix an eSIM that won't activate

If the QR code won't scan, check that your camera lens is clean and you're holding the phone steady at the right distance. You can also enter the activation code manually: tap Enter activation code manually during setup and type in the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your eSIM provider's email. If the eSIM profile installs but won't connect, restart your Pura 70 Pro and confirm you've enabled data roaming for the eSIM line. For persistent issues, you can check another device's eSIM compatibility or reach out to your eSIM provider's support team for help.
