How to Install an eSIM on iPhone

Installing an eSIM on an iPhone takes about two minutes if you know where to tap.

  • Open Settings, then Cellular, then Add eSIM
  • Scan the QR code from your provider email or app
  • Label the plan Travel so it is easy to find
  • Turn on data roaming for that line before you fly

Keep your primary line active for calls and set the travel line as the default for cellular data.

Once added, your travel plan stays dormant until you land, so you can set everything up from home.
