- How to activate an eSIM
- Get Your eSIM Profile: Once you've made your online eSIM purchase, you will receive a confirmation email. This email contains your virtual SIM profile in the form of a QR code or a manual activation code.
- Access Device Settings: Head over to the settings menu on your device. You need to locate the 'Cellular' or 'Mobile Networks' section. Once there, select 'Add Data Plan' or a similar option.
- Install the eSIM Profile: It's time to install your eSIM profile onto your device. You do this by scanning the QR code or inputting the manual activation code provided.
- Choose Your Plan: Upon installing the eSIM profile, your device will establish a connection with the new network. If there are multiple data plans available, you'll have the opportunity to select the one that fits your needs best.
- Activation Time: With your plan decided, activate it. Your device will now start using the new network for data and calls.
- Multiple Plans? No Problem: If you're using multiple plans, you can select a default line for calls and messages. In addition, you can specify which line to use for data. This can usually be done through the 'Cellular' or 'Mobile Networks' settings on your device.
- Keep Your Home Number: Even with a new network activated, you can still receive calls and messages on your home number, provided it's associated with a physical SIM in your device.
- Time to Connect: Now, your device is ready to connect to the new network. You're all set to embark on your travels with uninterrupted connectivity!
