Steps
Ask your carrier for an eSIM for your Redmi Note 17 or 17 Pro. They will send a QR code or an activation code by email or in their app.
Connect the phone to Wi-Fi so the eSIM profile can download during setup.
Open Settings and go to Network and internet, then tap SIMs or Mobile network.
Tap Add eSIM or Add SIM, then choose the option to scan a QR code from your carrier.
Point the camera at the QR code. If you got a code instead, choose the manual option and type the activation code.
Wait while the phone downloads the eSIM profile. Keep the phone on Wi-Fi and do not close the screen.
Name the eSIM, for example Work or Travel, and choose whether it is used for calls, texts and mobile data.
Turn on mobile data for the eSIM if you want to use it for internet, then make a test call or load a web page.
Tips and common mistakes
Scan the QR code only once. Most carrier codes cannot be reused, so request a new one if setup fails.
Set the eSIM as your default for data only if you do not need your physical SIM for internet.
Keep the original QR email until the plan is active in case your carrier asks for the code again.
Questions
Do I need a physical SIM to set up an eSIM?
No. An eSIM works on its own, but you can keep a physical SIM in the phone and use both at the same time.
What if the QR code does not scan?
Clean the camera lens and move closer, or use the manual entry option and type the activation code from your carrier.
Can I move the eSIM to another phone?
Usually not by yourself. Contact your carrier to deactivate it and issue a new eSIM for the other phone.
