1. Verify Android eSIM support with *#06#

Because Android manufacturers ship different regional sub-models, always dial *#06# in the Phone app first. If an EID number appears on the screen, your phone has an active eSIM chip.

  • Samsung Galaxy: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM
  • Google Pixel: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add SIM → Set up an eSIM
  • Xiaomi / Motorola / Sony: Settings → Network & Internet → SIM cards / Mobile network → Add eSIM

2. Scan the QR code or enter the activation code manually

After checkout (from 3.50 € incl. VAT; custom & group plans — price negotiable), open your order page over Wi-Fi. Scan the QR code from another screen, or tap "Enter activation code manually" and paste the LPA / SM-DP+ string from your order page.

3. Enable Data Roaming on the travel eSIM after landing

When you arrive at your destination, select the travel eSIM as your preferred Mobile Data SIM and switch ON Data Roaming for that eSIM. Leave Data Roaming OFF on your home SIM card.

In 99 % of destinations the APN configures automatically; if your order page lists a manual APN, enter it under Access Point Names.
