Installing an eSIM takes less than a minute. Follow the steps below for your device, or use the QR code method to install on a different device.

Step by step

1

Open Roamly and go to My eSIMs

Log in to your Roamly account and navigate to My eSIMs. Find the eSIM you want to install.

2

Tap “Add to iPhone”

On the eSIM detail page, tap the “Add to iPhone” button. This will open your device's eSIM setup.

3

Follow the on-screen prompts

Your iPhone will guide you through adding the eSIM. Confirm when prompted.

4

Label your eSIM

Give your eSIM a label like “Travel” or the country name so you can easily identify it later.

5

Don't activate yet

When asked, choose to keep your eSIM off for now. Turn it on when you arrive at your destination.

Installing via QR code

If you want to install the eSIM on a different device than the one you're browsing on, use the QR code method:

1. Open Roamly on your computer or another device

2. Go to My eSIMs and select your eSIM

3. Click “Scan QR Code” to reveal the QR code

4. On the device you want to install on, go to Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code

5. Scan the QR code with your camera

Tips

Install before you travel

Set up your eSIM while you're still connected to WiFi at home. You'll be ready to go the moment you land.

Don't activate early

Keep the eSIM turned off until you arrive at your destination. Activating early may start your plan countdown.

Manage your SIM cards

Keep your regular SIM for calls and texts, or turn it off to avoid roaming charges. Use your Roamly eSIM for data only.

Connect to WiFi first

You need an internet connection to download the eSIM profile. Make sure you're connected to WiFi before installing.
