Yes — the P40 Pro 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 P40 Pro
Huawei flagships have eSIM. Google services do not run on them, but that is no problem for data — eJugaar only needs the internet, not the Play Store.
What this means for a non-PTA P40 Pro
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 a local SIM work for only 60 days on this phone? The full answer, and what PTA stopping Onic changed: that story.
Check your phone in one minute
Dial *#06# on your P40 Pro. 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 tell a JV phone from a non-PTA one.
How to install an eSIM on a Huawei phone
Huawei (EMUI / HarmonyOS) — 4 steps, under ten minutes.
- Connect to WiFi
- Settings → Mobile network → Mobile data
- 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.
