What to do if your Vivo V40 Lite doesn't support eSIM

Check your exact variant: the same model can ship with an eSIM in Europe or Korea and without one elsewhere. You will find the model number under Settings → About phone.
Open Settings → Connections → SIM manager. If "Add mobile plan" or "Download eSIM" appears there, your device does support eSIM — tell us and we will correct this page.
Otherwise, install your PlanJapan eSIM on another compatible device and turn on its hotspot: your Vivo V40 Lite then stays connected in Japan over Wi-Fi.
