Install and Activate your eSIM on your iPhone or iPad Cellular (Simplified guide)

📱 How to Install and Activate Your eSIM on iOS iPhone or iPad cellular (from AirSims.com.au)

It’s simple! Follow these steps before you fly and when you land. ✈️

✅ Before Take Off

1. Check your iPhone: Make sure your phone works with eSIM. (Tip: Dial *#06# and look for EID on the screen.)
2. Turn on Wi-Fi: You must have Wi-Fi to set up your eSIM. Do this at home before your trip.
3. Find your QR code: Open the email from Airsims.com.au. This email has your special QR code.
4. Scan the QR code:
   • Go to Settings → Mobile Data → Add eSIM.
   • Choose Use QR Code.
   • Point your camera at the QR code in your email.
5. Done! 🎉 Your eSIM is now saved in your iPhone. Don’t delete it.

🛬 When You Land

ℹ️ If you are using iOS 26 (and onward) the steps below are fully automated.

Steps below are for older iOS versions or changing settings manually in the event of automation failure. 

1. Turn on your eSIM: Go to Settings → Mobile Data. Switch your AirSims eSIM to ON.
2. Turn on data roaming: In the same menu, tap your AirSims eSIM and switch Data Roaming to ON.
3. Wait a minute: Your iPhone will connect to the local network. 🌐
4. All set! You can now use the internet, maps, and chat apps on your trip. 🎒

ℹ️ Sub-Note for iOS (iPhone/iPad) Users

Sometimes, if you turn on your AirSims eSIM before you reach your travel country, your iPhone might show a “Not Valid” or “Activation Error”. Don’t worry – this is false. This is a quirk with iOS 16.4 and above. We have a detailed guide that explains. Your eSIM will work fine once you land at your destination and connect to the local network. 🌏

💡 Helpful Tips

• Install your eSIM a day or two before flying, while you have Wi-Fi.
• Keep your QR code email safe (or even have a print out) in case you need it again.
• If something doesn’t work, restart your iPhone and check your settings.
