Activating your eSIM On Trip is quick and easy, getting you sorted in minutes. First, after purchase, you'll receive a QR code via email. While you still have Wi-Fi (ideally before you leave or at your departure airport), go to your phone's 'Settings,' then 'Mobile Data' (or 'Cellular'), and select 'Add eSIM' or 'Add Data Plan.' Scan the QR code. The eSIM will install. Your plan's validity period only begins when it connects to a local network at your destination, ensuring you're instantly online upon arrival.
