Set up your travel eSIM, step by step.
Choose your phone and installation method. Follow your provider’s instructions for the exact plan.
Before you travel
Connect to reliable Wi-Fi. Check when your provider starts the plan’s validity: installation and activation may be different events. Keep the QR code and activation details private.

At your destination
Select the travel eSIM for mobile data. Enable data roaming on that eSIM if your provider requires it. Keep data roaming off on your home line and disable automatic mobile-data switching where available. Calls and messages on your home line may still incur charges.
No connection yet?
Check that the plan is active, covers your location and has data remaining. Follow your provider’s APN and network instructions. Do not delete the eSIM as a troubleshooting step unless the provider tells you to: reinstallation may not be possible. Contact the seller for order and activation support.
