How to Install an eSIM When the QR Code Is on the Same Phone

How to install an eSIM when the QR code is on the same phone

If your EasyTripGo eSIM QR code is displayed in an email on the same phone you want to use, you may not need to print it. Choose one of the methods below.

Method 1: Use the QR code directly on iPhone

On an iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later, open the QR code in the default Mail app or Safari. Touch and hold the QR code, then choose Add eSIM and follow the on-screen steps. Apple’s wording can vary slightly by iOS version.

Method 2: Display the QR code on another screen

  1. Open the delivery email on a computer, tablet or another phone.
  2. On the phone that will use the eSIM, open Settings and choose Add eSIM.
  3. Select the QR-code option and scan the code from the other screen.
  4. Keep the phone connected to stable Wi-Fi until installation finishes.

Method 3: Enter the activation details manually

If your delivery email contains an SM-DP+ address and activation code, you can enter them instead of scanning. Follow our manual eSIM installation guide.

Important precautions

  • Do not share or publish your QR code. It is linked to your eSIM order.
  • Many activation codes are intended for one installation only.
  • Do not delete the eSIM after it has been installed.
  • If the code is rejected, see what to do when an eSIM QR code is not working.
