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
We have made it easy for you to copy the eSIM values.  Log into your account at my.easysim.global and go to "My eSIMs" and select "Installation Instructions".  Use the "COPY" buttons to copy the values.

The eSIM code needs to be entered as a single string as follows:
Type "1$" followed by the SM-DP+ Address.  Then type "$" followed by the "Activation Code".  Do not use any spaces.
For example: 1$rsp.truphone.com$ZV-2GH3TY-5HFBYL0

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.
