Why you should install a travel eSIM on reliable Wi-Fi
Downloading a profile and activating service can be different events. Your provider may start validity at installation or at the first supported network connection, so check its plan-specific instructions first.
Before you go
Keep the confirmation and manual setup information private. Avoid deleting a profile to troubleshoot unless the provider confirms you can reinstall it.
- Open the plan’s QR or manual activation instructions before setup.
- If data does not work, first check that the line is on and selected for mobile data.
- Change the APN only when the provider gives you an exact value.
If the instructions don’t match your phone
Menu names move between software versions. Follow the current manufacturer guide for your phone, then use the eSIM provider’s plan-specific steps for network settings.
