Installing a Global eSIM before departure gives you time to fix setup issues while reliable Wi-Fi is available. The important part is to install the profile without accidentally using the plan earlier than intended.
Before installation
- Confirm that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
- Use stable Wi-Fi or mobile internet.
- Keep the QR code available on a second screen or printed page.
- Review the activation instructions in the delivery email.
You can choose either the Global eSIM for 67 destinations or the Global eSIM for 108 destinations. Verify coverage before installing.
Install the eSIM
On iPhone, open Settings, Mobile Service or Cellular, then Add eSIM. On Android, the path is commonly Settings, Connections or Network & Internet, SIM Manager, then Add eSIM. Scan the QR code and give the new line a clear label such as “EasyTripGo.” Menu names vary by phone model.
Connect after arrival
- Turn on the EasyTripGo eSIM.
- Select it as the mobile-data or data-SIM line.
- Enable data roaming for the EasyTripGo line.
- Keep your primary SIM from using mobile data.
- Turn airplane mode on for 30 seconds and then off.
- Turn off Wi-Fi and test a webpage.
If the phone has two lines, make sure the correct line is selected. A successfully installed eSIM will not provide data while the primary SIM remains selected for mobile data.
Using personal hotspot
Hotspot sharing lets a laptop or another phone use the eSIM connection. Enable Personal Hotspot or Mobile Hotspot, set a secure password and connect the second device. Streaming, cloud sync and software updates on connected devices can consume data quickly, so monitor usage.
Important troubleshooting rule
Do not delete the eSIM if it does not connect. First check the data line, roaming, airplane mode and network selection. Deleting the profile can make recovery more difficult.
