Does my Android support eSIM?

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID, it does. Some models sold in certain countries have eSIM switched off, and the missing EID line tells you.

Where do I paste the code?

Usually Settings, Network and internet, SIMs, add eSIM, then the option to enter the code by hand. The wording changes a little between brands.

No, an installed profile stays on the phone it was installed on. Install it on the phone you will actually carry.

An eSIM for Android is a copy and paste: the code goes into your phone's eSIM settings, and you are done. No second screen needed to scan a QR code.

On the phone that travels, copy the activation code and add it in Settings. A QR code is there too, for when you use another screen.

Most recent Galaxy and Pixel phones, and many other models, support eSIM as long as they are unlocked.

Plans are data only, so your usual line keeps receiving calls, texts and bank codes.
