How do you activate an eSIM on iOS?

To activate an eSIM on an iOS device, follow these steps:

1. Check Compatibility: Ensure your iPhone model supports eSIM. Most iPhone models from iPhone XS and later do.

2. Get an eSIM Plan: Contact your carrier to obtain an eSIM activation code, which is usually a QR code or activation details.

3. Open Settings:

   • Go to Settings on your iPhone.

4. Cellular/Mobile Data:

   • Tap on Cellular or Mobile Data.

5. Add Cellular Plan:

   • Tap on Add Cellular Plan.

6. Scan QR Code:

   • Use your iPhone's camera to scan the QR code provided by your carrier.
   • If you received manual activation details, select Enter Details Manually instead and follow the prompts.

7. Label Your Plans (if applicable):

   • If you’re using dual SIMs, you can label your plans (e.g., Personal, Business) for easier identification.

8. Set Default Line:

   • Choose which line you want to use as your default for calls, messages, and data.

9. Activate the Plan:

   • Follow any additional prompts from your carrier to complete the activation.

10. Restart Your iPhone (if needed):

    • Some carriers may require a restart for the changes to take effect.

After activation, you should see the eSIM plan listed in your Cellular settings, and you can manage your cellular plans as needed.
