Can I use a travel eSIM on the Google Pixel 2?
On supported regional variants, yes — but check your model number first. 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.
