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
- The device isn’t locked to one Mobile Network.

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
