Esim,Sim Card Manager

[Rafeek Mohamed]

I have a Note 20 5g, and I want to add an eSim data plan for a trip abroad. For this I need the Sim card Manager under the connections menu but it is not showing. While several other posts asked a similar question, no usable or conclusive answer has been posted. When I type *#06# I see one barcode for the IMEI and one barcode for the sn.

Does this mean that an eSim is not usable?

Is an eSim only usable on a double Sim phone?

Is there any workaround?

Sim card manager is for something else. I belive you're looking for settings, connections, sim manager, add esim.

Sim card manager is an app for tweaking settings within the sim card itself, not adding an esim to your phone. (I've personally never had a sim where sim card manager works)

Hello 👋 @Rafeek Mohamed and may I extend a Warm Welcome to the Samsung Community Forum. 

To add an eSim the feature first has to be available in your Sim Manager section.

And the phone needs to be dual sim so it has two imei numbers.

The eSim takes up the secondary slot of a dual sim phone. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

When I bought my phone, it was mentioned that , it has esim and one physical sim, but now I am confused, why I can npt activate it?

Do you think, samsung note 20 ultra 5G, can not support esim? I am embarassed from that, so I am shocked and eager to know where is the problem, if you can help me to check if it is available in my copy or nor?

My phone is: Samsung not20 Ultra 5G

Model: SM-N986N
