Can I keep my phone number abroad with the Samsung Galaxy S24+?

Does the Samsung Galaxy S24+ have a SIM card slot, or is it eSIM only?
Yes: every version of the Samsung Galaxy S24+ has a SIM card slot (2 nano-SIM), plus eSIM.
Can I use two eSIMs at the same time on the Samsung Galaxy S24+?
Yes: two eSIMs can be active at the same time, out of 8 stored.
Why is my eSIM not working on the Samsung Galaxy S24+?
Check four things in Settings › Connections › SIM manager: the travel eSIM is turned on, it is chosen for mobile data, data roaming is on, and your phone is not locked to a carrier. Then restart it.
What if the eSIM is stuck on “activating”?
Activation needs an Internet connection: stay on Wi-Fi for a few minutes, then restart the phone. Many travel eSIMs only connect once you land, so “No service” before you leave is normal.
