03 · After landing
Mobile data and roaming
Open the delivery email
After the order is processed, open the delivery email. Keep the QR code or manual activation details available on another screen, or use the phone’s supported on-device install method.
Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM
Open Settings, choose Network & internet, then SIMs. Choose Add SIM or Add eSIM, followed by the option to download a SIM.
Scan the QR code
Scan the QR code from the delivery email and review the plan shown by the phone. If scanning is unavailable, use the manual activation details only through the phone’s eSIM setup screen.
Give the travel line a clear name
Use a label such as Travel or the destination name. This makes the new eSIM easier to identify when you configure data after landing.
Keep your home line for calls if needed
Keep the preferred line for calls and messages according to your needs. Do not switch mobile data to the travel eSIM until you are ready to use the plan.
After landing: turn on the travel line
Turn on the travel eSIM, select it for mobile data and enable data roaming for that line. Leave network selection on Automatic unless the product instructions say otherwise.
The wording may appear as Add SIM, Download a SIM instead or Add eSIM depending on the Android version.
