Install your eSIM before travel

Prepare while you have reliable internet

Check your exact phone’s eSIM support and carrier lock. Download the official eSIMbundle app from the app page, sign in with your purchase account, and check that the order and bundle appear.

Save the arrival steps offline. The app’s installation flow still needs an internet connection; an offline checklist cannot download an eSIM.

Install once

1. Open the eSIMbundle app and sign in with the account used for your purchase. Go to Account → My eSIM → Set up your eSIM.
2. On This phone, tap Install eSIM on this phone and follow the phone’s approval prompts. If direct installation is unavailable, use the QR code tab or the manual SM-DP+ address and activation code.
3. Confirm the profile appears in phone settings. Give it a reusable name such as eSIMbundle; one profile can serve several trips.

Confirm installation before you travel

Check that the profile appears in your phone’s SIM settings. Opening the installer or Settings does not prove installation completed.

I have installed this eSIM records your confirmation in the app. Marked as installed is different from Installed, which can reflect provider or usage evidence. A delayed status alone is not a reason to reinstall.

Keep your eSIM installed between trips so it is ready for your next bundle. If you remove it, you can reinstall it by scanning your QR code again. Find the code in the eSIMbundle app under Account → My eSIM → Set up your eSIM.

Know when validity begins

Installing the profile does not start a bundle. A bundle starts automatically on its first supported data/network use in its coverage area; its validity then runs according to the plan. Check the bundle details for its allowance, coverage and expiry.

There is no need to choose a scheduled start or press Start now. If you are already within the bundle’s coverage, using the eSIM can start it before departure.

Prepare the included VPN

Use VPN inside the eSIMbundle app with your normal account. Download and sign in before departure. VPN access requires an active qualifying bundle, so you may be unable to test a connection while the bundle is awaiting first use. Preparing the app does not activate it.

Connect when you arrive

Installing the profile does not start a bundle. A bundle starts automatically on its first supported data/network use in its coverage area; its validity then runs according to the plan. Check the bundle details for its allowance, coverage and expiry.

1. Turn off airplane mode and turn on the installed eSIM line.
2. The installed profile is usually called Webbing in your phone’s settings. If you renamed it, use your chosen name. Select this line for mobile data and turn Data Roaming on for this line when you are ready to connect at your destination.
3. Turn off automatic mobile-data switching to your home SIM if your phone offers it. Keep roaming off for the home line unless you intend to use its roaming service.
4. Check Bundles in the app for destination coverage and remaining data. Test a simple webpage with Wi-Fi off and VPN disconnected.
5. If it does not connect, briefly toggle airplane mode, then allow the phone time to register. Use the No Service guide if it cannot find a network.
