Installing your eSIM
Your order page gives you one activation code in three interchangeable forms. They all install the same eSIM — pick whichever is easiest with the devices you have on hand.
Scan the QR code
Any eSIM phoneOpen your order page on a laptop or a second phone, then scan it with the phone that will use the eSIM. A phone can't scan a code shown on its own screen — that's why the two methods below exist.
Tap the install link
iPhone, iOS 17.4+Open your order page on the iPhone itself and tap "Install on this iPhone." iOS hands the code straight to the installer — no scanning, no typing. Older iPhones won't react to this link.
Type it in manually
Always worksEvery phone lets you enter the eSIM details by hand. Your order page shows exactly the values your phone asks for, with a copy button next to each.
What the code is made of
An eSIM activation code isn't a password — it's an address plus a one-time ticket. Your phone connects to the address and redeems the ticket to download the plan.
An eSIM installs only once. If you delete it from your phone, the code can't be reused — so keep the plan installed until your trip is over.

On Samsung the path is Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM. On Pixel it's Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Download a SIM instead. Install over WiFi before you leave — the profile download needs a connection, and validity only starts once the eSIM first connects at your destination.
Works with most modern phones
iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and many more devices support eSIM. Check the full list before you buy.

Install before you fly
Set up your eSIM while you still have WiFi at home, then it's ready the moment you land.
Keep both SIMs active
Use your regular SIM for calls and texts. Set the eSIM as your data line abroad.
Enable data roaming
Don't forget this toggle on your eSIM line — it's required for it to work abroad.
