Is your Microsoft Surface Pro 10 carrier-unlocked?
An eSIM-ready Microsoft Surface Pro 10 still won't activate a travel eSIM if it's locked to a network. Phones bought outright are usually unlocked; contract phones often aren't. The 20-second check:
- A device bought outright from the maker or a shop is unlocked.
- One bought on a network contract may be locked to that network: ask the network if you are not sure.
Locked? Your carrier can usually unlock it for free once any contract is paid off.
