Welcome to our guide on setting up an APN (Access Point Name) for eSIM on your Vivo smartphone. As eSIM technology gains traction, ensuring your device is correctly configured for optimal performance is essential. This article will guide you through confirming eSIM compatibility and setting up the necessary APN settings on your Vivo phone, ensuring seamless connectivity when using eSIM products.
Understanding eSIM and APN
First, let's define the key terms:
- eSIM (embedded SIM): A digital SIM card integrated into your device, allowing you to activate cellular plans without a physical SIM card. This facilitates easy switching between different carriers or plans, which is ideal for travelers and frequent switchers.
- APN (Access Point Name): This is the setting that your device uses to connect to the internet through the cellular network. Correct APN settings are vital for accessing data services, especially when using eSIM.
eSIM Compatibility for Vivo Phones
Before proceeding with APN setup, it's crucial to confirm whether your Vivo smartphone supports eSIM. Not all models do, and compatibility can vary by region and carrier.
Based on the provided information and research, the following Vivo models are known to support eSIM:
- X90 Pro
- Vivo X100 Pro
- V29 (European Version)
- V29 Lite 5G (European Version)
Note that eSIM support might be limited to global versions of certain models, and devices sold in China, Hong Kong, and Macao typically do not support eSIM.

Setting Up APN on Vivo Smartphones
Once you've confirmed eSIM compatibility, you can set up the APN. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Open the Settings app on your Vivo smartphone.
- Navigate to Network and Internet: Look for "Network and Internet" or a similar option.
- Select SIM cards and mobile networks: Choose "SIM cards and mobile networks" or "Mobile networks."
- Find APN settings: Locate "APN settings" or "Access Point Names."
- Add or edit the APN: If needed, add a new APN or edit the existing one. Typically, the APN is set to "global" or as provided by your carrier, depending on your eSIM plan.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you experience connectivity problems after setting up the APN, try the following:
- Restart your device: A simple restart can often resolve connectivity issues.
- Check data roaming: Ensure data roaming is enabled, especially if you're using the eSIM abroad.
- Reset APN settings: If adjustments don't work, reset the APN settings to their default values by finding the "Reset to default" option in APN settings.
- Contact support: If the problem persists, reach out to our customer support team for further assistance.
