The tablet has a nano-SIM slot and also supports an eSIM, but only on the 5G model. This means you can either use a physical nano-SIM or use the eSIM function if your model is 5G-capable. Cutting a nano-SIM is therefore not mandatory if you use the eSIM.

How to set up the eSIM on the Tab S10+:

- Connect the tablet to the Internet, preferably via Wi-Fi.
- Open Settings → Connections → SIM Manager (or SIM card management).
- Tap on "Add eSIM" (Add mobile plan / Add eSIM).

Depending on your supplier, the following options are available:

- eSIM Simple Setup: Your mobile provider app or the network automatically loads the plan onto the device (for supported carriers)
- Scan QR code: Tap "Scan QR Code", set up the code, and your eSIM plan will be activated
- Manual entry: If you have received an activation code, you can enter it directly
- Once added, the eSIM will be activated (restart may be required)

Thank you. And how exactly does the eSIM work? What do I have to do to activate it?
