How to install an esim (iOS)?

Getting Started

Before setting up your eSIM, make sure you have the following:

  • Reliable internet access: It’s best to be connected to Wi-Fi or have a stable mobile data connection.
  • An eSIM-compatible device: If you’re unsure whether your device supports eSIM, refer to our guide here: List of compatible devices.
  • A network-unlocked device: If you’re not certain whether your device is locked to a specific carrier

These steps will help ensure a smooth eSIM installation process.

  • Open Settings on your device, then tap Mobile Data or Cellular Data.
  • Select Add eSIM.
  • Select Use QR Code.
  • Scan the QR code you received.
  • Select Continue.
  • It can take a few minutes to activate.
  • Tap Done to finish the installation.
  • Configure the settings as suggested: set Default Line to Primary and tap Continue.
  • Set Mobile Data to the eSIM name you selected earlier (e.g., Business).
  • Return to Settings, tap Mobile Data or Cellular Data, then select the eSIM to verify Data Roaming settings.

Toggle the switch to On to enable Data Roaming.
