eSIMs: How to activate

Modified on Thu, 1 Jun, 2023 at 10:11 AM

If we've sent you an eSIM pack it will contain the following:

  • SIM Serial Number (SSN)
  • QR code
  • Manual activation code
    • This can be used if the camera cannot scan the QR code


Apple iPhones (requires internet access)

Go to Settings > Mobile Data and select Add Data Plan

Use the phone’s camera to scan the QR code - confirm by pressing Add Data Plan

You can change these settings whenever you like by going to Settings > Mobile Data > Default Voice Line / Mobile Data


Samsung phones (requires internet access)

Go to Settings > Connections > > Select SIM card manager

Click the + button for Add mobile plan (under eSIMs)

Select Add using QR code and take a picture of the QR code on the eSIM pack (your camera will automatically open)

Confirm by pressing Register > OK


Google phones (requires internet access)

Go to Settings > Network and Internet > Click the + button for Mobile Network

Select Don’t have a SIM card? Download your SIM instead

On the following screen click Next to complete the activation


Other phones (requires internet access)

The process will be similar to the above Samsung phone, but feel free to contact us with your make and model for precise instructions.
