In this guide there is a step-by-step walkthrough you can use when installing an eSIM on your Google device.

 

Installing an eSIM using a QR Code

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 internet connection.
  • 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

Do not forget to turn on Data Roaming once the installation is complete.
