Installing an eSIM Manually

Before attempting to install the eSIM, there are three main things you will need:

• An eSIM compatible device - If you are unsure, here's a list of compatible devices: List of compatible devices
• The device isn't locked to one Mobile Network - If you are unsure whether or not your device is locked to a certain network, have a look at our article on how to check if your device is "locked/unlocked":  Locked/unlocked devices

Do not forget to turn on "Data Roaming" once the installation is complete.

1. Go into Settings.

2. Click onto "Mobile Networks" > Sim Management.

3. Click on an eSIM > Add eSIM.

4. Click "Enter Manually".

You may leave the Confirmation Code field empty.

6. Click "Add this eSIM" > Wait for the eSIM to download.

Note: This may take up to 10 minutes, please do NOT close this, or the installation will stop. 

7. Once completed, your eSIM should appear in the list. > Make sure the eSIM is enabled, or the eSIM won't work.

Note: Once you have completed these steps, make sure your Data Roaming is "ON" as seen in the photos below, otherwise you will not be able to use the eSIM.
