How do I activate my eSIM on my Android device?

Activating an eSIM on your Android device, including your Nuu Mobile X5, is relatively straightforward, but the steps may vary slightly depending on your phone’s brand and version of Android. Here’s how to generally activate eSIM on an Android device:

1. Check eSIM Compatibility:

  • Ensure your Android device supports eSIM. For the Nuu Mobile X5, check if the device has an eSIM option by going to Settings > Network & Internet. If you see Mobile Network and an option to add an eSIM, your device supports it.

2. Obtain the eSIM details:

  • Contact your carrier or eSIM provider (like JetSIM, which you are using) and request an eSIM plan. They will usually provide a QR code or activation details, such as an SM-DP+ address and activation code.

3. Activate the eSIM:

  • Open the Settings app on your Android phone.
  • Go to Network & Internet > Mobile Network > Add Carrier.
  • Tap Add eSIM or Download a SIM.
  • Scan the QR code: Use your device’s camera to scan the QR code provided by your carrier.
    • If you don’t have a camera or QR code, you can manually enter the eSIM details (SM-DP+ address and activation code) by selecting the “Enter manually” option.

4. Assign the eSIM profile:

  • Once the eSIM is downloaded and installed, you may be asked to assign the eSIM profile a label like Personal, Work, etc., for easy recognition.

5. Choose your preferred SIM (if using dual SIM):

  • If your device has both a physical SIM and eSIM, you’ll be prompted to choose which line to use for data, calls, and texts. Go to Settings > SIM Cards (or Dual SIM Settings), and configure which SIM will be used for mobile data, calls, and messaging.

6. Activate the eSIM:

  • Your eSIM should now be active. You can confirm this by checking if your phone has connected to the carrier’s network under Mobile Network in your settings.

7. Reboot the device (Optional):

  • Sometimes rebooting the device is necessary to ensure the eSIM activation goes through properly.

Managing Multiple eSIMs (if applicable):

If your phone supports multiple eSIM profiles, you can switch between them by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network, then select the eSIM you want to activate or switch to.
