Install your eSIM while you are on Wi-Fi, ideally a day or two before you travel. Install it on the phone you will travel with: the eSIM is bound to that phone and cannot be moved to another one.<\/p>\n

Option 1: one tap<\/h2>\n

On your phone, open the eSIM email or My account > My eSIMs<\/a> and tap Install on Android<\/strong>. If your phone does not support one-tap install, use the QR code.<\/p>\n

Option 2: scan the QR code<\/h2>\n

The screens below are from a Samsung Galaxy; other Android phones use similar menus (Google Pixel: Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > Add SIM).<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the Settings<\/strong> cog.\"Opening<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Tap Connections<\/strong>.\"Connections<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Tap SIM manager<\/strong>.\"SIM<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Tap Add eSIM<\/strong>.\"Add<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Tap Scan QR code<\/strong>.\"Scan<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Scan the QR code shown on another screen, from your email or My eSIMs.\"Scanning<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    QR code only on this phone?<\/h2>\n

    Save the QR code to your photos, then on the scan screen tap the gallery<\/strong> button and choose the image.\"Choosing<\/span><\/p>\n

    Option 3: enter the code manually<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. On the scan screen, tap Enter activation code<\/strong>.\"Enter<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Paste the manual install code (LPA)<\/strong> from your email or My eSIMs and confirm.\"Pasting<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      After installing<\/h2>\n

      When you arrive, turn on data for the eSIM<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
