1. Check the phone first

Make sure the exact device variant supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. A supported model can still fail if it is locked to a carrier or if a regional variant does not include eSIM support.

2. Add the eSIM on reliable Wi-Fi

Open the eSIM installation option in your phone settings and use the QR code or manual activation details from your order. Keep the installation screen open until the profile has been added successfully.

3. Choose the correct data line

When you are ready to use the plan, select the travel eSIM for cellular data. Many travel eSIMs require data roaming to be enabled on the travel line because they connect through partner networks.

FAQ

Should I install the eSIM before the flight?+

Usually yes, as long as you first check the plan’s activation rule. Installing on reliable Wi-Fi avoids setup problems at arrival.

Should data roaming be on?+

For many travel eSIMs, yes. Enable roaming on the travel eSIM line while keeping roaming settings on your home SIM under control.

What if the QR code was already used?+

Do not delete an installed eSIM unless you are sure it can be reinstalled. If setup fails, contact support before removing the profile.
