3 ways in

Installing your eSIM

Your order gives you one activation code in three interchangeable forms. Pick whichever method is easiest for your device.

Scan the QR code

Any eSIM phone

Best when the QR code is displayed on another device.

Open your order page on a laptop or second phone and scan it with the phone that will use the eSIM. A phone can't scan a code shown on its own screen.

Tap the install link

iPhone, iOS 17.4+

Available on supported iPhones and compatible software versions.

Open your order page on the iPhone itself and tap "Install on this iPhone." iOS hands the code straight to the installer. Older iPhones won't react to the link.

Type it in manually

Always works

Enter the activation details directly into your phone settings.

Every phone lets you enter the details by hand. Your order page shows exactly the values your phone asks for, with a copy button next to each.

Under the hood

What the code is made of

An eSIM activation code contains the information your phone needs to download the profile: an address plus a one-time ticket. Your phone connects to the address and redeems the ticket.

An eSIM installs only once. If you delete it from your phone, the code may not be reusable, so keep the plan installed until your trip is over.

Activation detailsExample values

SM-DP+ Address: rsp.example-carrier.com
The server your phone downloads the profile from.
Activation Code: K2-1LS-1P0RRRQ
The one-time code for your plan. Some phones call it the "matching ID".
Full activation string: LPA:1$rsp.example-carrier.com$K2-1LS-1P0RRRQ
The two fields above joined — exactly what the QR code contains.
ICCID: 8910300000123456789
Your eSIM's serial number. Quote it if you contact support.

Entering the code by hand

The path differs slightly by manufacturer, but the required information stays the same.

iPhone

6 steps

1Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM
2Tap Use QR Code, then Enter Details Manually
3Paste the SM-DP+ Address
4Paste the Activation Code
5Leave Confirmation Code blank if not required
6Label the plan and set it as your data line

Android

6 steps

1Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM
2Open the manual installation option (often "Need help?" when the scanner opens)
3Paste the activation string (the LPA: line) or SM-DP+ Address
4Enter the Activation Code
5Confirm the download and wait for the install
6Enable the line and Data Roaming

Menu paths vary by manufacturer. On Samsung it's Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM; on Pixel, Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Download a SIM instead. Install over Wi-Fi before you leave — the profile download needs a connection, and validity only starts once the eSIM first connects at your destination.

Pro tips

Tip 01

Install before you fly

Set up your eSIM while you still have a reliable Wi-Fi connection, so it's ready the moment you land.

Tip 02

Keep both SIMs active

Use your regular SIM for calls and messages and your eSIM for travel data.

Tip 03

Enable data roaming

Turn on Data Roaming for your eSIM line when required — without it, the eSIM may not connect abroad.

Next stop
