Where to find your eSIM QR code and installation details

Your eSIM installation details are stored inside the signed-in eSIMbundle account. They belong to the reusable eSIM profile, not to one individual destination bundle.

1. 1Sign in to your eSIMbundle account.
2. 2Open Account → My eSIM.
3. 3Select the eSIM you want to install or review.
4. 4Check the status shown at the top of the page.
5. 5If the eSIM is ready, select Start setup.
6. 6Choose your phone type.
7. 7Choose the installation method shown for that device.
8. 8Use the QR code or manual values displayed in the account.

The account may recommend a different installation method depending on whether you are viewing the page on the phone being installed or on another device.

Immediately after purchase, the account may temporarily show Preparing your eSIM. This means the reusable eSIM profile and its installation details are still being created.

Preparation normally takes only a short period after purchase, but do not repeatedly reload, repurchase or create another account while waiting.

The exact values shown depend on how the eSIM profile was issued. Your account may show some or all of the following details.

QR code

A visual version of the eSIM installation information. Scan it from the phone’s Add eSIM screen, or use the supported same-device method shown by the account.

SM-DP+ address

The server address entered during manual eSIM installation. Copy it exactly as shown.

Activation code

A code entered together with the SM-DP+ address when manual installation requires it.

Matching ID

A profile identifier that may appear instead of a separate activation code. Use the field labels shown by the account and phone.

Activation string

A combined installation value used by some setup methods. Do not edit, shorten or reformat it.

ICCID

The unique identifier of the eSIM profile. It helps identify the profile but is not normally the first value entered during installation.

The account changes its recommendation based on the device being installed and the screen currently showing the account page.

• Different screen

  Scan the QR code

  Best when the account page is open on a computer, tablet or another phone and the phone being installed can scan the screen.

• Same iPhone

  Press and hold the QR code

  On a compatible iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later, press and hold the QR code in the browser and choose Add eSIM.

• Same Android phone

  Install manually

  Copy the SM-DP+ address and the next required value into the phone’s eSIM setup screen.

• Need a larger view

  Use another signed-in screen

  Copy the account setup-page link, sign in on another device and scan the QR code from there.

Only methods supported by the available installation details are shown. If the account does not offer a QR method for your eSIM, use the manual installation values shown instead.

This is usually the simplest method when the account page is open on a laptop, desktop computer, tablet or another phone.

1. 1Open the eSIM setup page on the other screen.
2. 2Sign in to the correct eSIMbundle account.
3. 3Select Start setup.
4. 4Choose the phone being installed.
5. 5Choose Scan QR code or Use another screen.
6. 6On the phone, open its Add eSIM screen.
7. 7Scan the QR code displayed in the account.
8. 8Follow the phone’s on-screen installation instructions.
9. 9Confirm installation only after the eSIM appears in the phone’s SIM settings.

When the account page is open on the iPhone being installed, the account can recommend pressing and holding the QR code. Apple supports this QR method on iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later.

1. 1Open the eSIM setup page on the iPhone.
2. 2Select iPhone as the device.
3. 3Choose Install on this iPhone.
4. 4Press and hold the QR code.
5. 5Select Add eSIM when that option appears.
6. 6Follow the iPhone instructions.
7. 7Return to the eSIMbundle account after installation.
8. 8Confirm installation only when the eSIM appears in Mobile Service, Cellular or Mobile Data settings.

If Add eSIM does not appear when you press and hold the QR code, use manual installation or open the setup page on another screen instead.

When the account page is open on the Android phone being installed, manual entry is often easier than trying to scan a QR code shown on the same screen.

1. 1Open the eSIM setup page on the Android phone.
2. 2Choose Samsung, Google Pixel or Other Android.
3. 3Choose Install manually on this phone.
4. 4Copy the SM-DP+ address.
5. 5Open the phone’s Add eSIM or manual setup screen.
6. 6Paste the SM-DP+ address.
7. 7Return to the account and copy the activation code, Matching ID or activation string shown next.
8. 8Paste that value into the corresponding phone field.
9. 9Finish the setup inside the phone’s settings.
10. 10Confirm installation only when the eSIM appears in SIM manager or mobile-network settings.

Android labels can vary by phone brand, model, Android version, country and carrier configuration. Follow the closest equivalent shown on the device.

Manual installation is the fallback when the QR code cannot be scanned or when the account page is open on the same Android phone being installed.

The account shows only the values available for that specific eSIM. Some profiles use a separate activation code, some use a Matching ID and some expose a combined activation string.

The account provides tools that can make scanning easier when the standard QR display is too small or when you want to move the QR to another screen.

• Full screen

  Enlarges the QR code inside the browser so another device can scan it more easily.

• Download

  Saves an image of the QR code so you can display it on another trusted device or keep a private offline copy.

• Print

  Opens the browser’s print flow so the QR code can be scanned from paper.

Downloaded or printed QR codes contain private eSIM installation information. Store them securely and destroy printed copies when they are no longer needed.

When the eSIM appears in the phone’s SIM or mobile-network settings, return to the account and mark the installation as complete.

• The account status changes to Installed.
• The eSIM remains on the phone between trips.
• New data bundles are added to the same reusable eSIM automatically.
• You can open Account → Bundles to manage when each data bundle starts.
• You can reopen the setup page to review the available details.
• Reopening the page does not guarantee the profile can be installed again on another device.

The QR code and manual setup values can be used to install the eSIM profile. Treat them like private account credentials.

• Do not share the QR code with another person.
• Do not post screenshots of the QR code publicly.
• Do not paste the activation string into public support forums.
• Do not send the manual details in an untrusted group chat.
• Sign out after viewing the setup page on a shared device.
• Delete downloaded QR images from shared computers after use.
• Destroy printed copies when they are no longer needed.
• Contact support if you believe the setup details were exposed.

The copied setup-page link does not contain the activation credentials, but a signed-in account session can display them. Protect the account itself as well.

• Do not try to install while the status still says Preparing your eSIM.
• Do not scan the QR code using an ordinary camera app when the phone is asking you to use Add eSIM.
• Do not expect a phone to scan a QR code displayed on the same screen.
• Do not manually type long installation values when a copy button is available.
• Do not edit or shorten the activation string.
• Do not assume every eSIM has both QR and manual installation methods.
• Do not mark the eSIM as installed before it appears in the phone’s settings.
• Do not share or publicly upload the QR code.
• Do not delete the installed eSIM because you want to review the setup details.
• Do not assume the QR code can be reused on another phone.
• Do not buy another data bundle merely because the QR code is temporarily unavailable.

Check the account status, device choice and installation method before deleting anything or purchasing again.

1. 1Confirm that you are signed in to the account used for the purchase.
2. 2Open Account → My eSIM and select the correct eSIM profile.
3. 3Check whether the status says Preparing your eSIM, Ready to install, Installed or Setup issue.
4. 4If it says Preparing your eSIM, wait for the installation details to become available.
5. 5If the page is ready, select Start setup and choose the correct phone.
6. 6Check whether the account offers QR, manual or another-screen setup for that eSIM.
7. 7If the QR code is on the same Android phone being installed, use manual installation instead.
8. 8If the QR code is too small, use Full screen, Download or Print.
9. 9If the iPhone does not show Add eSIM after a long press, use manual installation or another screen.
10. 10If manual setup fails, copy the SM-DP+ address and activation value again without changing them.
11. 11Confirm the phone supports eSIM and is not carrier locked.
12. 12Do not delete an eSIM profile that already appears in the phone’s settings.
13. 13Do not assume the same QR code can be installed repeatedly.
14. 14Contact support with the visible account status and device model if setup still fails. Never send the full QR code or activation values in a public message.
