eSim Activation Guide

After purchasing an eSIM, you will usually receive a QR Code via email within 5 minutes.

How to Activate an eSIM 

Activation is simple. Follow the steps below: 

1. On the device where you want to install the eSIM data plan, open the Camera app. 

2. Point the camera at the QR Code. Tap on the notification that appears, which should say Data Plan.

3. On the following screen, follow the prompts to install the new Data Plan. The default options are okay to accept.

4. Once the new Data Plan has been added, make sure that Data Roaming is set to ON in your phone's Settings.

Tips & Reminders

  • Turn off Data Roaming on your Primary line (home SIM card) to prevent data roaming charges.
  • Temporarily disable apps like iCloud Drive, Google Sync, or other apps that may consume your data in the background. 
  • If you install the eSIM before you arrive in your destination, be sure to change the eSIM plan to your primary Cellular Data plan when you arrive.
