Choose your phone, then follow the steps below. It takes about two minutes.
Install using QR Code
Get ready
Make sure you have:
- QR code handy (sent to your email)
- Your iPhone or iPad is connected to Wi-Fi or a mobile network.
Scan the QR Code
- Open the Camera app and scan the QR Code.

- Tap this button.
Add and activate the plan
- Your iPhone will walk you through the process of adding the eSim. Follow the steps.
- Hit 'Continue' when your iPhone asks you to confirm.
- Your iPhone will ask you to give the new eSim a label. You can do so if you like. You can choose the preset labels ("business", "personal","secondary") or add your own.

Final step - Activate roaming
