Wording can differ slightly between OS versions, but the flow is the same: find the SIM or cellular settings, add an eSIM, and scan the QR from your dashboard.
Troubleshooting
I cannot find the eSIM option
Search Settings for eSIM or SIM. If nothing appears, your phone may not support eSIM. Check our device support guide.
No data after install
Enable the eSIM line, turn on Roaming for the travel line, and select the eSIM as the data SIM.
Menu names look different
Android skins vary by brand. Look for SIMs, SIM manager, or Mobile network under Network and internet.
