How can I install an eSIM on Android (Samsung, Google, Xiaomi, etc.) devices manually?

Table of content:

Installation

NOTE: You need to be connected to the internet to install the eSIM.
NOTE 2: Screenshots may differ slightly from what you see on your device due to variations between device models.

1. Navigate to Settings

Go to the section for mobile network or SIM settings (This might be called "Network & Internet," "Connections," or similar)
Tap SIM manager (or similar)

2. Add a Mobile Plan

Look for an option like "Add eSIM" or "Add Mobile Plan" (wording may vary by device)

3. Choose manual setup

Select "Set up an eSIM" or "Scan QR code" that will lead you to manual set up option
Click on "Enter activation code" (working may vary by device)

4. Enter activation code

Enter the code provided in Installation Guide and click Done

5. Install your eSIM

Press "Add"
Stay on the screen while your eSIM installs (usually takes less than 2 minutes)

6. Confirm successful installation

Once installed, you will see your eSIM in your list of eSIMs in your Settings

7. Choose a name for your new eSIM

Select the just-installed eSIM
Tap "Edit name and icon"
Rename it to a recognizable name (e.g. Ohayu eSIM)

Activation

NOTE: These steps are recommended, but on some devices or networks, they may already be applied automatically.

1. Start activation

We recommend doing this once you're at your destination as activation switches your primary data operator. This could interrupt your current internet if done too early

2. Turn on your eSIM

Go to Settings and tap "Connections" (or "Network & Internet" - wording may vary by device)
Tap SIM manager
Find your installed eSIM in the list, tap it, and turn on the toggle to enable it
