Activate SoSIM eSIM on Pixel | Generated by AI
Question: How do I activate a SoSIM eSIM on a Google Pixel device?
Answer:
Pixel devices have solid eSIM support. Here’s the process:
1. Add the eSIM
Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add SIM
On some Pixel models the path is: Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → Add SIM
Choose “Scan QR code” and scan the SoSIM QR code they provided.
2. Activate the SIM
After scanning, Android will download the eSIM profile. Confirm when prompted. It may take 1–2 minutes.
3. Set SoSIM as active data SIM
Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → tap your SoSIM entry → enable it, and set it as the preferred SIM for data.
4. Turn off Wi-Fi, confirm mobile data works
Toggle Wi-Fi off, confirm you have a data signal via SoSIM.
5. Complete real-name registration (required for HK service)
Go to https://www.sosimhk.com/rnr/en and complete the registration — this is mandatory before the HK portion activates.
6. Switch to your target package (within 48 hours)
Log into https://sosimhk.com/dash/en and switch to the [Ai Travel] 10GB Greater China 365-Day package within 48 hours of activation.
Pixel-specific notes:
- Pixel 3a and later all support eSIM natively — no physical tray needed
- If QR scan fails, some carriers offer a manual activation code — check SoSIM support for a manual entry option
- Dual SIM (nano + eSIM) works on most Pixels, so you can keep your existing SIM active simultaneously
