DataESIM activation is a streamlined, two-phase process. Phase one, 'Installation', should be completed pre-departure. Locate the QR code in your purchase confirmation email and scan it via your device's cellular settings (e.g., iOS: Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM; Android: Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Download a SIM). We advise performing this on a stable Wi-Fi network. Phase two, 'Activation', occurs upon arrival. Once in your destination, navigate to your device's cellular settings and select your DataESIM profile as the primary line for mobile data. Your plan will then connect to the local network.
