What is the activation process for an eSIMTrends eSIM after purchase?

Updated April 22, 2026

The eSIM activation process, as guided by eSIMTrends, involves two primary steps. First, the installation: upon purchase, you'll receive a QR code via email. Scan this code via your phone's mobile data settings (e.g., 'Add eSIM'). We advise doing this while connected to reliable Wi-Fi, ideally before your trip. Second, activation: your plan becomes active only when your device connects to the local network in your destination. This ensures your plan's validity period starts precisely when you need it.
