A Panama eSIM can work on an unlocked Android phone that supports eSIM, but menu names and SIM behaviour vary widely by manufacturer and software version.
The important result is consistent across devices: the Panama profile carries mobile data, Data Roaming is enabled for it, and the home line cannot take over automatically.
NoveSIM Panama plans are data-only. Internet calls and messages use travel data, while conventional calls and SMS remain tied to another line.
Quick answer: Add the profile through SIM Manager or Network settings, label it Panama Data, select it for mobile data, enable roaming for it and disable data switching.
