Install guide

Install an eSIM on Huawei.

Only selected Huawei models and regional variants include eSIM. Confirm the exact model number and look for eSIM management before buying.

Install flow

Three screens to understand before you travel.

Menus vary by device, operating-system version and sales region. These illustrations show the flow; the guide below gives the likely settings path.

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 → Mobile network → SIM management → Add eSIM
Open Settings, choose Mobile network, then SIM or eSIM management. Choose Add eSIM to begin. The exact path varies by EMUI version.
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.

EMUI menu names vary. Search Settings for eSIM if the path shown here is not present.
