In this guide, you have a step-by-step walkthrough you can take when installing an eSIM on your iPad Device.

Before attempting to install the eSIM, there are three main things you will need:

  • A strong internet connection - Ideally, you will need to be connected to Wi-fi or have a good 4G signal.
  • An eSIM compatible device - If you are unsure whether your device is compatible with eSIMs, please check the following article: List of compatible devices
  • The device is network unlocked - If you are unsure whether or not your device is locked to a certain network, please check the following article: Locked/unlocked devices
  1. On your iPad, go to Settings.
  2. Tap on Mobile Data.

  3. Tap on Add a New Plan.

  4. Use your iPad to scan the QR code provided by your carrier. If your carrier doesn't provide a QR code, you can enter the details manually.

  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the eSIM activation process.

  6. Once the eSIM is activated, you can select it as your default mobile data or choose to use it alongside your physical SIM if your iPad has a physical SIM slot.
