Hi,

I saw that in the USA the S20 5G eSIM support was pushed via software update long time ago. Is there any intention to push to Canadian version of S20 5G (SM-G981W)? I have started to travel in the US for business and would love this feature. 

Thanks,

Math

Hi, Yes, eSIM feature will be enabled via a software update.
Additional models will be added to the list as made available.
As of now it is available on S21, Note 20 and S22 series.

Will it comes at the same time as ONE UI 4.1.1 or 5.0? Any Estimate?

@axton can you confirm that One UI 5.0 will bring eSIM feature?

I know this an old post but to follow up, is there an estimated time frame for when the Galaxy S20 in Canada (SM-G981W) will get the esim feature enabled? Users in the US got the feature updated over the past few months but we're still waiting here in Canada. Giving these generic answers is not the solution. I'm starting to have serious doubts that we'll ever see the esim feature enabled on the Canadian version of the S20 so it's up to Samsung to restore that confidence.

Hi Axton, thanks for the update! Can't wait to be able to add some data without going to buy a physical SIM.

Unless you are talking about swapping out one Carrier's SIM, for another Carrier's SIM, you can't actually use two Physical SIMs in the Canadian model of the S20 series, unlike some European models that have two SIM card slots. 

If Samsung Canada, does in fact provide the software update to allow the use of eSIM for the S20 series, eSIM would be enabled & include the SIM Manager.

That's exactly what I want. Keeping my Rogers SIM in for Wifi calling and using eSIM to have data for Google maps, Teams, etc... while outside of Wifi zone.
