- Done! 🎉 Your eSIM is now saved in your iPhone. Don’t delete it.
🛬 When You Land
- Turn on your eSIM: Go to Settings → Mobile Data. Switch your AirSims eSIM to ON.
- Turn on data roaming: In the same menu, tap your AirSims eSIM and switch Data Roaming to ON.

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.
