RTE-01BInstall

Installing your eSIM

One activation code, three interchangeable forms. Pick whichever is easiest with the devices in your hand.

Needs 2nd screen

Scan the QR code

Any eSIM phone

Open your order page on a laptop or a second phone, then scan it with the phone that will use the eSIM. A phone cannot scan a code shown on its own screen.

One tap

Tap the install link

iPhone, iOS 17.4+

Open your order page on the iPhone itself and tap "Install on this iPhone." iOS hands the code straight to the eSIM installer — no scanning, no typing.

Copy · Paste

Type it in manually

Always works

Every phone lets you enter the eSIM details by hand. Your order page shows exactly the values your phone asks for, with copy buttons alongside.

RTE-01CThe code

What the code is made of

An eSIM activation code isn't a password — it's an address plus a one-time ticket. Every field below is on your order page with a copy button next to it.

Read first

An eSIM installs only once. If you delete it, the code can't be reused — don't remove the plan until your trip is over.

SM-DP+ Addressrsp.example-carrier.com

The server your phone downloads the eSIM profile from.

Activation CodeK2-1LS-1P0RRRQ

The one-time code identifying your plan. Some phones call this the "matching ID."

Full activation stringLPA:1$rsp.example-carrier.com$K2-1LS-1P0RRRQ

The two fields above joined — literally what the QR code contains. Many Android phones accept this single line.

ICCID8910300000123456789

Your eSIM's serial number. Quote it if you contact support.

RTE-01DBy hand

Entering the code by hand

The path differs slightly by manufacturer, but the fields are always the same.

iOS 12.1+

iPhone

  1. 1Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Service) → Add eSIM
  2. 2Tap Use QR Code, then Enter Details Manually
  3. 3Paste the SM-DP+ Address into the first field
  4. 4Paste the Activation Code into the second field
  5. 5Leave "Confirmation Code" blank and tap Next
  6. 6Label the plan, then set it as default for data
Android 10+

Android

  1. 1Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM
  2. 2Tap Need help? or Enter it manually
  3. 3Paste the full activation string (the LPA: line)
  4. 4If asked for two fields, use the SM-DP+ address and code
  5. 5Confirm the download and wait for install
  6. 6Turn on the new line and enable Data Roaming

On Samsung the path is Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM. On Pixel it's Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Download a SIM instead. Install over Wi-Fi before you leave — the download needs a connection, and validity only starts once the eSIM first connects at your destination.
