📱 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 SettingsMobile DataAdd 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

  1. Turn on your eSIM: Go to SettingsMobile 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.
