Which versions of the Honor X8c have no eSIM
Where are you taking your Honor X8c?
If your version takes an eSIM, you can buy a data plan now and install it before you fly. Pick your destination.
Check your own Honor X8c
Two minutes on the phone itself settles it, whichever version you have.
Dial *#06#
Open the phone app and dial *#06#. If a number labelled EID appears, your phone supports eSIM.
On Android
Go to Settings, then Network and internet, then SIMs. If you can add an eSIM or download a SIM, it supports eSIM.
Check it is unlocked
A phone bought from a carrier on contract may be locked to it. Ask your carrier, or look for a Carrier Lock line in your settings that says No SIM restrictions.
