Carrier lock: the caveat
eSIM hardware is not enough; the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ must also be free of a carrier lock. A locked phone refuses to download an eSIM profile from any other operator. Phones bought outright in India are unlocked. Phones bought on instalments in the USA, Canada, Japan or the UK are usually locked until paid off, and the carrier must unlock them on request.

Can I keep my Indian SIM active while using an eSIM on the Redmi Note 13 Pro+?
The phone has no eSIM, so the question does not arise. With a physical travel SIM in the second slot your Indian SIM stays active for calls and OTPs.
How do I check whether my Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is carrier-locked?
Phones bought outright in India are unlocked. If the phone came from a carrier abroad, insert a different SIM or try to download the eSIM: a locked phone refuses with a network message. Ask the carrier for an unlock code.

What if the eSIM will not install on my Redmi Note 13 Pro+?
Check Wi-Fi is connected, that the QR has not been scanned on another device, and that the phone is unlocked. Then follow troubleshooting. If it still fails on a compatible, unlocked phone we refund in full.
Can I transfer the eSIM to a new phone later?
Travel eSIMs install once. Contact support before you switch phones; we can issue a replacement profile for the unused balance where the plan allows it.
Does 5G work on the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ with a travel eSIM?
With a physical travel SIM, yes on 5G destinations where the phone supports the local bands.
