Install eSIM on Google Pixel 7 / 7 Pro
Compatible when the exact phone shows an EID, offers Add eSIM, and is unlocked. Confirm these on the handset before purchase, especially for imported or carrier-sold Pixels. You need your QR code (emailed after purchase) and an internet connection to scan it.
Who this guide covers
Covers Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Regional and carrier variants need checking because Pixel eSIM behavior is not identical across every market.

Enable abroad
When you arrive, follow the specific plan terms, then go to Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs. Select the travel eSIM and enable mobile data for that line when ready.
Check compatibility first
Check Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs for Add eSIM and confirm the phone has an EID. Some Pixel 7 carrier or regional models have different eSIM availability.
Carrier and region: Pixel 7 support depends on the model and carrier firmware. A phone bought through a carrier or imported from another region should be checked in Settings rather than judged by the Pixel 7 name alone.
Before you fly
Install the QR code before departure on Wi-Fi. Keep the plan disabled until you arrive if you want to avoid using validity while still in Canada.
Install vs. activate: Install on Wi-Fi before departure and keep the plan disabled until you arrive if you want to avoid using the travel line in Canada. Enable it and assign data after landing.
Device details cross-check: Google Pixel: add a SIM or eSIM. Regional model and carrier support can still differ.
Home line and dual SIM
Leave the Canadian SIM available for calls or verification, choose Voyaio as the mobile-data SIM, and disable automatic data switching to protect against Canadian roaming charges. Keeping the Canadian line enabled can still incur your carrier's roaming or usage charges, especially for calls and SMS; check your carrier's terms before travel.
When you arrive
Choose the travel eSIM as the mobile-data SIM, then test a map or web page. If the phone stays offline, restart it and verify that the plan is enabled.
Troubleshooting this Google Pixel 7 / 7 Pro guide
QR setup loops or fails
Use the current Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs flow, connect to Wi-Fi, install system updates, and avoid scanning a QR code displayed on the same phone.
No network after enabling Voyaio
Confirm Voyaio is the Mobile data SIM, check the plan's roaming requirement, toggle Airplane Mode, and restart if network registration remains stuck.
If the phone shows no service, confirm the travel plan is enabled, mobile data is assigned to that line, and data roaming is enabled for the travel eSIM when the provider requires it. Then toggle airplane mode or restart the phone.
