Yes — it supports eSIM. Yes. The Xiaomi 15 supports eSIM, so it works with an eJurs data-only eSIM in Pakistan — no PTA registration needed.
The Xiaomi 15 specifically
Xiaomi's global versions carry an eSIM, while the Chinese domestic versions usually do not. Both circulate in Pakistan, so confirming with *#06# matters here.
What this means for a non-PTA Xiaomi 15
PTA registration applies to local SIMs. eJurs is a roaming eSIM, so no local SIM is involved and an unregistered handset still gets online.
The service is data only — no calls, no SMS, and no Pakistani number. WhatsApp calls, IMO and Messenger all run over data, so those keep working.
Check your own handset in under a minute
Open the dialer on your Xiaomi 15 and dial *#06#. If an EID appears alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.
It must also be free of a carrier lock — worth confirming on anything bought second-hand or brought in from abroad.
Carrier-locked and non-PTA are not the same thing, and taking one for the other is the mistake that costs people money here — what the difference is, and how to tell which yours is.
Installing an eSIM on a Xiaomi phone
Open your phone's network or SIM settings. The remaining steps, and what to check if the internet does not come on, are in the full install guide.
The QR code arrives on WhatsApp, usually within two minutes of payment clearing. Scan it from the screen of another device, or save the image and pick it from your photos.
Plans
Plans start at Rs. 380 and are all data-only. Validity begins the first time the eSIM carries data, not on the day you buy, so buying ahead of a trip costs you nothing.
See the plans or ask the WhatsApp agent.
