How do I install eSIM on my Samsung device?

Installing an eSIM on a Samsung device is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Steps to Install eSIM on Samsung Devices

Ensure your Samsung device supports eSIM. Most recent models, such as the Galaxy S20, S21, S22, S23, and Galaxy Z Flip series, do.
– Obtain an eSIM activation code (QR code or activation information) from your mobile carrier.

Installation Process:

1. Open Settings:
– Unlock your Samsung device and open the Settings app.

2. Select Connections:
– Tap on Connections.

3. Mobile Networks:
– Tap on Mobile networks.

4. Add Mobile Plan:
– Tap on Add mobile plan. You may see an option that says Download a SIM instead? and select it if prompted.

5. Scan QR Code:
– Choose Scan carrier QR code.
– Use your device’s camera to scan the QR code provided by your carrier.

– Alternatively, if you have an activation code or the required details, you might need to select an option like Enter details manually and input the information provided by your carrier.

6. Follow On-screen Instructions:
– Follow any additional on-screen instructions to complete the activation process.

7. Label Your Mobile Plan:
– After activation, you may have the option to label your eSIM (such as Personal, Work, etc.) for easier identification, especially if you have multiple plans.

8. Set Default SIM (if applicable):
– Although not mandatory, if you are using both a physical SIM and an eSIM, you can set which SIM is to be used for calls, texts, and mobile data by tapping on the Mobile networks section again and adjusting the settings.

9. Restart Device (if necessary):
– A restart may not always be required, but if you’re experiencing any issues, it can be beneficial to restart the device to ensure all configurations are applied.

Additional Tips:

– Check Carrier Support: Ensure that your carrier supports eSIM and that your account is properly set up for eSIM activation.
– Data Settings: You can configure data settings or choose which plan to use for mobile data in the Mobile networks settings under Connections.
– Troubleshooting: If you encounter issues during the setup process or your eSIM doesn’t activate, contact your carrier for support, as they may have specific configurations required for their service.

By following these steps, you should successfully install and activate your eSIM on your Samsung device. If you have more questions or if anything isn’t working as expected, don’t hesitate to reach out to your mobile carrier for assistance.
