Activate an eSIM with Manual Activation Code

Activating Your eSIMI eSIM Using a Manual Activation Code

If you're unable to scan the activation QR code provided, or if you simply prefer a different method, you can easily activate your eSIMI eSIM using a Manual Activation Code on your device instead.

Here's how to find your eSIM activation code in your account:

  1. Log in to your ESIMI account on our website.

  2. Navigate to your My eSIMs or Active Plans section.

  3. Find the specific eSIM plan you want to activate.

  4. Look for an option like Install eSIM or Activation, and then select Manual Activation Code from the options provided (it might appear in a pop-up window).

  5. Copy the displayed activation code.

Once you have copied the code, you are ready to enter it on your mobile device to activate the eSIM plan.

Follow these steps to enter the Manual Activation Code on your iPhone:

  1. Open your iPhone's Settings.

  2. Go to Cellular (or Mobile Data / Mobile Service).

  3. Under Cellular Plans, tap Add eSIM. Your phone's camera view will likely open, prompting you to scan a QR code.

  4. Look for and tap on Enter Details Manually near the bottom of the screen.

  5. You will see fields to enter details. Carefully enter the SM-DP+ Address that was shown in your eSIMI account when you retrieved the manual code.

  6. Enter the Activation Code (sometimes called the "Confirmation Code") that was shown in your account.

  7. There may be a separate field for a Confirmation Code; you do not need to enter anything here unless specifically instructed otherwise by your carrier.

  8. Tap Next (usually in the top right corner) and follow any additional prompts on your screen to complete the eSIM installation.

(Note: If you encounter an error message like "Unable to Activate eSIM" during or after this process, it's possible the eSIM actually installed in the background despite the error! Please refer to our esim-troubleshooting to check your phone's settings.)
