Install an eSIM on iPhone

Do this at home, on Wi-Fi. It takes about two minutes.

Install

  1. Open Settings and tap Cellular. In some countries it's called Mobile Service or Mobile Data.
  2. Tap Add eSIM, then Use QR Code.
  3. Scan the QR code from your email. If the email is on the same phone, tap Enter Details Manually and paste the codes instead.
  4. Give the new line a name you'll recognise, like "Travel".

When you land

  1. In Settings, Cellular, tap the travel line and turn it on.
  2. Turn on Data Roaming for the travel line.
  3. Set Cellular Data to the travel line, so your home SIM doesn't use data.

No data after you land?
