INSTALLING YOUR eSIM ON APPLE DEVICES
This help guide walks you through the steps required to install an eSIM on an Apple Device, the guide was created using the most recent version of Apple software available at the time, IOS 16.3
There are two install options offered in this help guide, either “install using a QR code” or “manual install”
Before starting the install, it is important you have the following three components:
Don’t forget to turn on “Data Roaming” after install!
Step 1. Scan the QR code that you received
Step 2.
Step 3. Configure the following settings as detailed below:
Either
3.1) Tap “Continue” and then move to Step 4
Or
3.2) You have the option to modify the “eSIM Label” (the name of the eSIM) instead of using the default name.
If you would like to modify the eSIM label before moving to the next step;
Tap “>” (the right hand arrow) > Then either choose one of the preset label’s or type the name you want to use in the “Custom Label” box > Tap “Done” > Tap “Continue”
In this example the name of the esim was changed to “My eSIM” using the custom label box.
Please note; Option 3.2) won’t be offered to you if you have more than one eSIM already installed on your device, so a custom label can only be altered after the SIM install is complete.
Step 4. (2 options - we recommend to proceed with 3.1)
Allow Mobile Data Switching is defaulted to off, choose you preference using the toggle > Tap “Done”
“Allow Mobile Data Switching” will allow your device to use mobile data from both lines depending on coverage and availability. You can change your selection later in settings.
