Before attempting to install your eSIM, you will need:

  • A strong internet connection – Ideally, you will need to be on Wi-fi or have good 4G signal.
  • An eSIM compatible device – If you are unsure, see list of compatible devices here
  • The device isn’t locked to one Mobile Network.
In this guide, we assume your main SIM is installed in Slot 1 and your new eSIM is installed in Slot 2.
If you have a Google Pixel, an extra step is required to enable 2 SIMs.  Click here.

PART 1: INSTALL YOUR eSIM
DO NOT not use a QR code scanning app.
  1. Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs > Add SIM > tap "Set up an eSIM" then scan QR code
  2. Tap to add eSIM and follow on screen instructions.

PART 2: ACTIVATE YOUR DATA BUNDLE
When you are ready to use your eSIM, do the following:
  1. Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs > Select eSIM in Slot 2 > tap "Use eSIM" and confirm Yes
  2. Settings > Network and Internet > SIMs > Select eSIM in Slot 2 > Data preference > Select new eSIM
You are now using your new easySim data bundle. Awesome job.

TIPS

  • Notice the two signal strengths at the top of your screen!
  • The signal strength shown on the right is the one being used for "Mobile Data".
  • To save battery, turn off your easySim if you're not using it.
  • We suggest you name your eSIM "easy" so you can easily recognise it.  To do this, click the edit pencil in top right corner of screen.
