Can I use a travel eSIM on the Xiaomi 15?

Yes. As long as your Xiaomi 15 is unlocked (not tied to a carrier), you can install a data-only travel eSIM before you fly and activate it on arrival. Travel eSIMs are primarily data plans — you'll get mobile data (including 4G/5G where available) but standard voice calls/SMS usually don't work. You can still make calls via WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal, Telegram or similar apps.

You can typically store multiple eSIM profiles on your device (several at a time) and switch between them as you travel.

How to install an eSIM on your Xiaomi 15

  1. Purchase a travel eSIM plan for your destination and receive a QR code by email.
  2. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular / Mobile Data → Add eSIM. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Download a SIM.
  3. Scan the QR code (or use the provider's direct-install link) and follow the prompts.
  4. Label your new plan (e.g. "Japan Travel") and enable Data Roaming when you land.

Tip: install the eSIM before you travel while still on Wi-Fi so it's ready when you land.
