How do I install and set up my eSIM?

Whether you’re on Android or Apple, you will need 3 things to get started with your eSIM:

 

• Check that your phone is eSIM compatible.
• Check that your phone is network unlocked.
• A stable internet connection (preferably WiFi).

 

Once you have all you 3, you have two options to install your eSIM, these being:

 

1. Scan the QR Code for automatic installation.
   
   
2. Manually install your eSIM.

 

Installing using the QR Code is the easiest way (recommended).
