Installing a travel eSIM takes a few minutes. You can do it at home on Wi-Fi before your flight — then enable the line when you land.

iPhone setup

  • Open the QR code from your provider email or app
  • Go to Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code
  • Scan the code and follow prompts to label the line (e.g. “Travel”)
  • On arrival, turn on the eSIM line and set it as default for Mobile Data

Android setup

  • Open Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add SIM
  • Scan QR code or enter activation details manually
  • Enable the new profile and select it for mobile data
