How do I setup eSIM on my Android device?

There are two install options offered in this help guide, either "install using a QR code" or "manual install"

Before starting the install, it is important you have the following three components:

• A strong internet connection - Ideally using a Wifi network or a good 4G connection
• An eSIM compatible device - If unsure, a list of compatible devices is provided here
• The device is not locked to one particular network - If unsure, an article has been provided to talk you through how to determine the "locked / unlocked" status of a device, click here

Don't forget to turn on "Data Roaming" after install!
