How do I install and set up an eSIM on my Android device?

Before installing, make sure that your device:

  • Your device needs to be eSIM compatible and network unlocked.
  • You have a stable connection, preferably WiFi. (You need to download the eSIM properly to your device and a stable internet connection is a must.)

How to prepare before installing an eSIM?

  1. Log in to your Simific account
  2. Go to My eSIMs
  3. Select the eSIM you want to install
  4. Open the installation instructions. Depending on your app version, you may see: “View Installation Instructions” or “How to use your eSIM > How to install the eSIM”
  5. Choose your preferred installation method: Direct, QR Code, or Manual
  6. For connection settings, open the same eSIM and look under “How to use your eSIM > How to connect”.
