No, the Huawei P20 is not compatible with eSIM. This also applies to the P20 Lite and P20 Pro, which only support physical SIM cards. Huawei introduced eSIM technology in newer models, such as the P40, P40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro, and Pura 70 Pro. In this guide, you’ll learn how to check if your Huawei supports eSIM and what to do if you already have one.
How to check if your Huawei supports eSIM
You can verify eSIM compatibility directly from your phone in two ways: through the settings or by dialing *#06#.
Check eSIM compatibility from settings
Go to Settings > Mobile networks > SIM management.
If you see the eSIM option, your Huawei is compatible.
Check eSIM compatibility using the *#06# code
Open the Phone app > Keypad > Dial *#06#.
If no EID code appears on screen, your Huawei is not compatible with eSIM.
What to do if you bought a HOLASIM eSIM but your Huawei isn’t compatible
If your device doesn’t support eSIM, you still have several options:
-
Transfer your HOLASIM eSIM to another compatible and unlocked device.
-
Save it for a future trip — HOLASIM eSIMs do not expire.
-
Gift it to someone with an eSIM-compatible phone so it can be used.
