Check compatibility first
Confirm that your phone is unlocked, has an EID, and shows an Add eSIM option. Support can vary by model number, country, and carrier firmware.
Carrier and region: Carrier locks and regional firmware can prevent eSIM use even when a model family commonly supports it. Verify the handset itself.
Before you fly
Install the plan over Wi-Fi before departure, label it with the destination, and keep your QR email accessible until you are connected.
Install vs. activate: Install on Wi-Fi before departure, then enable the travel line and select it for data after arrival. Installation and network activation are separate steps.
Device details cross-check: Samsung Canada: eSIM support. Regional model and carrier support can still differ.
Home line and dual SIM
Keep your Canadian line for calls or SMS if needed, set the travel eSIM as the data line, and disable data roaming on the Canadian line. 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
Set the travel eSIM as your mobile-data line when you arrive and turn off data roaming on your Canadian line.
Troubleshooting this Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 / Z Flip7 FE guide
