How to Activate and Set Up eSIM

THINGS TO CHECK

PREPARATION

After your mobile order is approved, you’ll need to proceed with the activation of your new service on our website.

Once activated, you’ll then receive an email with a QR code which will allow you to activate the eSIM on your mobile phone. An Internet connection (WiFi or mobile data) is required to complete this process.
