How to activate your eSIM

Step 1: Purchase Your NomaSIM eSIM

To get started, choose the NomaSIM data plan that best suits your travel needs. Once you complete your purchase, we’ll send a confirmation email with your unique QR code and activation instructions. Make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi for a smooth setup, as some devices require an internet connection to activate the eSIM.

Step 2: Locate the QR Code

Once you’ve received your email, open it on a separate device, like a laptop or tablet, or print it out. Your QR code will be displayed clearly in the email, along with your activation instructions. You’ll need this QR code to activate your eSIM on your mobile device.

Step 3: Prepare Your Device

Before you start the activation process, double-check that your device is compatible with eSIM technology. Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including recent models from Apple, Google, and Samsung. Additionally, make sure you’re connected to a stable Wi-Fi network during the setup process to ensure a smooth installation.

Step 4: Open the eSIM Setup on Your Device

On most devices, you can add an eSIM by following these steps:

• iOS Devices (iPhone): Go to Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan.
• Android Devices: Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Card Manager (or Mobile Network Settings depending on your device).

These steps may vary slightly depending on your specific device model, so consult your device’s user guide if needed.

Step 5: Scan the QR Code

Once you’ve navigated to the eSIM setup screen on your device, use your device’s camera to scan the QR code from the NomaSIM email. Your device should instantly recognize the eSIM data plan associated with the QR code. Follow the prompts on your screen to confirm and activate the eSIM.

Tip: If prompted, select Data Only when setting up the eSIM, as NomaSIM provides a data-only service without a phone number.

Step 6: Enable and Test the eSIM

After the QR code is scanned, your device will begin the activation process. This may take a few moments, so give it time to complete. Once activated, you’ll see the new eSIM listed as a cellular or mobile plan on your device.

To ensure that the eSIM is working correctly, turn off your primary cellular network (if applicable) and check your device’s internet connection. You should be able to access the internet, confirming that the eSIM has been successfully activated. You’re now ready to connect to local networks using NomaSIM.

Step 7: Customize Your eSIM Settings (Optional)

NomaSIM allows for seamless integration with your device’s settings, giving you control over when and how your eSIM is used. Here are some additional options to enhance your experience:

• Set the eSIM as Default for Data: In your device’s settings, you can specify which SIM (eSIM or physical SIM) to use for data, messages, or calls. For NomaSIM, set the eSIM as the default for data to ensure you’re using it for internet access while traveling.
• Enable Data Roaming (if required): Some destinations may require you to enable data roaming in your settings to connect to local networks. Rest assured, with NomaSIM’s transparent pricing, you won’t incur hidden roaming fees, as our eSIM plans are designed for global connectivity.
• Switch Between Profiles: If you have multiple eSIM profiles saved on your device, you can easily switch between them based on your current location or preferences. Simply return to your device’s SIM settings to select or deactivate profiles as needed.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during the activation process, here are some quick troubleshooting steps:

• Restart Your Device: Sometimes a quick restart is all it takes to activate new settings on your device.
• Check for Software Updates: Make sure your device’s operating system is up to date, as eSIM technology relies on the latest software versions for smooth performance.
