Connect to Wi-Fi.
Open the QR code on another screen.
Open Settings → Network & internet (Connections on Samsung).

Tap Add eSIM (or Add SIM, then Download a SIM instead).
Scan the QR code.
Tap Download or Add, then confirm.
Name the eSIM "Travel".

Way 2

Enter the codes

When you only have one phone, or the camera won't scan.

Connect to Wi-Fi.
Open your order page and copy the codes.
Go to Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM.
On the scan screen, tap Need help? or Enter activation code.
Type or paste the SM-DP+ address and activation code.
Tap Continue or Connect, then confirm.

When you land

Tips

Install at home on Wi-Fi. Most plans start only when you connect at your destination.
Menu names vary by maker. Search "eSIM" in the Settings search bar to jump straight there.
Asked for one activation code? Type LPA:1$, then the SM-DP+ address, then $, then the activation code, all with no spaces.
Check your phone supports eSIM: dial *#06# and look for an EID.
Keep the eSIM installed until your plan ends. A deleted eSIM usually can't be installed again.

Which Android phones support eSIM?

Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and many recent phones from other makers. Dial *#06#: an EID means eSIM support.

Can I scan the QR code from a screenshot on Android?

Most Android phones scan with the camera only, so use the manual codes on your order page instead.

Will WhatsApp keep working?

Yes. WhatsApp stays on your usual number. The travel eSIM only carries the data.
