Install on iPhone
This takes about five minutes. Do it at home on wifi, a day or two before you fly.
Install
- Open the email with your QR code on another screen, or print it.
- On your iPhone go to Settings, Mobile Service (or Cellular), Add eSIM.
- Choose "Use QR Code" and scan it. No second screen? Tap "Enter Details Manually" and copy the codes from the email.
- Label the new line, for example "ArrivalSIM".
- For the default line, keep your own SIM. For mobile data, keep your own SIM for now.
- Untick "Allow Mobile Data Switching". This stops your phone using your home plan abroad by accident.
After landing
- Settings, Mobile Service, tap the ArrivalSIM line and switch it on.
- Turn on Data Roaming for this line.
- Go back and set Mobile Data to the ArrivalSIM line.
- Optional: switch off Data Roaming on your home SIM to avoid roaming costs.
Problems
- "This code is no longer valid": the QR code was already used. Each code works once. Contact us via the contact page.
- No signal after landing: switch flight mode on and off, then check that Data Roaming is on for the ArrivalSIM line.
- No data but signal bars: check that Mobile Data is set to the ArrivalSIM line.
Do not delete the eSIM while you still want to use it. A deleted eSIM cannot be installed again.
