Is My Huawei P30 Compatible with a Mossroam eSIM?

The Huawei P30 does not support eSIM technology, and this limitation extends to other models in the Huawei P30 series, including the Huawei P30 Lite and Huawei P30 Pro, which are designed to work exclusively with physical SIM cards. However, Huawei has incorporated eSIM functionality in more recent devices, such as the Huawei P40, Huawei Mate 40 Pro, and Huawei Pura 70 Pro. This guide will walk you through the steps to verify eSIM compatibility for your device and provide practical solutions to utilize a Mossroam eSIM if you’ve already purchased one.

How Do I Check If My Huawei P30 Supports eSIM?

Verifying whether your Huawei device is eSIM-compatible is straightforward. You can check through your phone’s settings, dial *#06#, or consult the updated list of eSIM-compatible Huawei models on the Mossroam website.

To Check Huawei P30 Compatibility from the Settings:

  • Go to Settings > Mobile Networks >  SIM Management > If you see the “Add eSIM” option, your Huawei phone supports eSIM technology.

To Check eSIM Compatibility on Your Huawei P30 by Dialing *#06#

  • Open the Phone app > Go to the keypad > Dial *#06# > If you see the EID code, your Huawei phone is compatible with eSIM.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Certain carriers may restrict eSIM usage with other providers. Ensure your Huawei phone is unlocked.
  • eSIM support can differ based on the country where your Huawei device was manufactured. Some models sourced from China may not support eSIM. Confirm your model’s compatibility before attempting installation.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your Huawei is eSIM-compatible and you’ve already purchased a Mossroam eSIM, proceed with the installation. It’s best to complete this process at home, prior to travel, while connected to a stable Wi-Fi network to avoid any setup issues.

What to Do If Your Huawei Isn’t eSIM-Compatible After Purchasing?

  • Use the eSIM on another device that supports eSIM.
  • Save the eSIM for a future trip, as it remains valid without an expiration date.
  • Share the eSIM with a friend or family member who has a compatible device.
