Yes — the Pixel 6a supports eSIM. So eJugaar's data-only eSIM works on it — without PTA registration too, because it is a roaming eSIM and devices running on roaming are outside DIRBS blocking.
What is particular about the Pixel 6a
On a Pixel, eSIM is Android's own feature, so setup is most direct here — the "Download a SIM instead?" path in Settings.

What this means for a non-PTA Pixel 6a
PTA registration is required for local SIMs. eJugaar is a roaming eSIM — there is no Pakistani local SIM in it at all, so the internet works normally even on a phone that was never registered. No back door: PTA's own DIRBS documentation keeps roaming devices out of blocking.
It is data only. Calls, SMS and a Pakistani number are not included — your bank's OTP will keep arriving on your old number. WhatsApp calls, IMO and Messenger run on data, so those work fine.
Why does an Onic, Jazz or Zong eSIM work for only 60 days on this phone? The full answer.
Check your phone in one minute
Dial *#06# on your Pixel 6a. If an EID appears alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM. No EID, no eSIM — there is no surer test.
One more thing: the phone must not be carrier-locked (JV). Do check this on a second-hand or imported set — no eSIM installs on a carrier-locked phone, and it is not refundable.
How to install an eSIM on a Google phone
Google Pixel — 5 steps, under ten minutes.
- Connect to WiFi
- Settings → Network & internet → SIMs
- Choose "Download a SIM instead?"
- Scan the QR
- Turn Data Roaming ON
The QR arrives on your WhatsApp within two minutes of the payment being confirmed. If you only have one phone, it cannot scan its own QR — so with every QR we also send the SM-DP+ address and activation code, which can be typed in by hand. See the full install guide.
Plans
Plans start at Rs 380 and are all data-only. Validity starts the first time you go online, not on the day you buy — so buying ahead of a trip or a need costs you nothing.
